CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- Inside the Space Life Sciences Laboratory near NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, Dr. David J. Smith, a microbiologist in the Surface Systems Office, prepares microbes that will be deployed for the Microorganisms in the Stratosphere, or MIST, mission. High altitudes exert a unique combination of stresses on microbes, outside the range of conditions normally encountered on the Earth's surface. Results from MIST may improve our understanding of the physical limits and habitable environments for life. The MIST mission will fly a small biological payload aboard a blimp in July to measure microbial survival and cellular responses to exposure in the upper atmoshere. Later in the year, the MIST mission will deploy samples at even higher altitudes in the stratosphere using scientific balloons. Photo credit: NASA/Daniel Casper KSC-2013-2768

Summary

Sharon Harris, an environmental protection specialist in the Environmental Lab, has worked in her area for 37 years. She is responsible for microwave digestion of hazardous and non-hazardous samples that come into the lab. Most samples she receives are aqueous, or water-based, and are either placed on a hot block or in a special microwave to break down samples to be further analyzed. (U.S. Air Force photo/Kelly White)
