Earth animals Can Live Beyond Space

Tardigrades (also known as the Water Bears) are part of supefilum Ecdysozoa, phylum Tardigrada. The size is very small, live in water, with the legs of eight. Tardigrades first described by Eprhaim Goeze in 1773. Tardigrada name means "slow walker" given by Spallanzani (1777). Tardigrades adult body length is 1.5 mm, the smallest size of 0.1 mm, 0.05 mm sized larvae.


Tardigrades can be found in all parts of the world, ranging from Himalayan peaks to the ocean floor, and from the poles to the equator. On the beach, land and water can be found in these small animals.

The most interesting of these animals is the ability to adapt to extreme environments. Tardigrades can survive in a frozen environment to place a high temperature. It can even withstand radiation 1,000 times higher than the amount of radiation to which the other living beings can survive. Therefore, animals known as tardigrades polyextremeophiles. With these capabilities, tardigrades are living organisms that can survive in the event of a nuclear war or other extreme natural disasters. Even tardigrades can live for 120 years in dry conditions.

Another unique capability of tardigrades are able to survive in outer space vacuum. In one study tardigrades can live for as long as 10 days in the space environment. Tardigrades the fly using the spacecraft FOTON-M3 by the European Space Agency, can survive under vacuum, exposed to cosmic rays, and can even withstand the sun's UV radiation 1,000 times higher than the radiation on the earth's surface.
