inside and outside
國際太空站正在發霉 裡面和外面

4.完整新聞內文:
New research being presented at the Astrobiology Science Conference shows the
International Space Station has an irritating mould problem — not only on
the inside, but the outside, too.

一項新的研究被提出表明國際太空站正有一個煩人的發霉問題
不只是內部,外部也有

The spores — which astronauts spend hours cleaning every week — can survive
X-ray exposure at 200 times the dosage that would kill a human being,
according to Marta Cortesao, a microbiologist at the German Aerospace Centre
in Cologne, who is presenting the research.

太空人每周花費許多時間清除這些胞子,它們可以暴露在足以殺死
人類200倍的X光之下,

And that's not all. The common mould spores found on the ISS — aspergillus
and penicillium — can also survive extreme temperatures, ultraviolet light,
chemicals and dry conditions. Their resilience not only makes it harder to
clean, but more likely to survive long-term.

這些在國際太空站上發現的孢子也可以生存在極端溫度,紫外線,化學和乾燥的條件
這不只讓它們更難清除也讓它們能生存更久

"We now know that [fungal spores] resist radiation much more than we thought
they would, to the point where we need to take them into consideration when
we are cleaning spacecraft, inside and outside," Cortesao said in a statement.


"If we're planning a long-duration mission, we can plan on having these mould
spores with us because probably they will survive the space travel."

如果我們計畫一個長期任務 我們必須考慮到這些黴菌孢子跟我們一起
應為他們能撐過太空旅行

The research touches on this, and it warns astronauts to follow recommended
planetary protection protocols designed to prevent visiting spacecraft from
contaminating other planets and moons in our solar system with microorganisms
from Earth. The study suggests that, because of the risk of contamination,
these fungal spores may need to be considered a more serious threat.

研究表明,這些孢子可能汙染太陽系其他的行星和衛星
他們應該被視為更嚴重的威脅

But the spores may not be all bad though. Cortesao's research is looking for
ways the space-growing fungi may help us long-term, investigating their
capacity to grow in less than ideal conditions. The study's aim is to harness
the hardy microbes as biological factories to create materials astronauts may
use on longer missions, such as antibiotics and vitamins.

但是這些孢子不全都是壞事 他們或許可以幫助我們研究創造材料
可以用來使用在長期任務 例如抗生素或維他命

Although the research is vast, it did not address the spores' ability to
withstand the combination of radiation, the vacuum of space, the cold and low
gravity.

雖然研究很廣泛 不過並沒有解決這是孢子為什麼能抵抗輻射 在真空 寒冷 和低重力

Experiments designed to further test fungal growth in micro-gravity are set
to launch in late 2019.
