China will send live zebrafish into the Tiangong space station what is the purpose Know

The speed with which China is advancing its space programs has posed a big challenge to the space agencies of other countries. When China was not included in the International Space Station (ISS), it prepared its own space station ‘Tiangong space station’. It has started operating since last year and now China is going to start many types of research on this space station. China plans to send a fish to its space station.

spacedotcom Guancha.cn With reference to wrote It is said that China is planning to send zebrafish into space. There, research will be done on the interactions between fish and microorganisms inside a small closed ecosystem. It is being said that this experiment will help in research on the damage caused to the bones of astronauts.

The report says that this is not the first time that fish is being sent to space. NASA has also done this. He had created an environment in the space station to explore how microgravity affects marine life. In 2012, NASA sent a fish of Japanese origin to space.

At the same time, the Soviet Union had sent zebrafish into space in the year 1976. Researchers in the Soviet Union had found that there were some changes in the behavior of zebrafish while living in microgravity. Sending living beings into space started in the year 1947 itself. The Soviet Union wanted to send a dog into space in 1957. However, shortly after the mission was launched, the dog’s body became too hot and it died.

Now China is moving in this direction. He wants to do new research by sending zebrafish into space. According to the report, Zhang Wei, associated with China’s space mission, had informed the Chinese media about this plan earlier this month. However, nothing has been told about the timeline and instruments of this experiment.
