◾ ◾ ◾ Bacteria from Kamchatka survived a simulated meteorite fall - RAS scientists Russian scientists have discovered bacteria that can survive the entry of a meteorite into the planet's atmosphere, as shown by an experiment aboard Bion-M apparatus number 2, Alexander Goridov, a researcher at the Institute of Medical and Biological Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences, told RTVI. According to him, the discovery can serve as proof of the panspermia theory - the transfer of life between planets. ◾ Bio-satellite "Bion-M" #2 will fly between August 20 and September 19, 2025 in a sun-synchronous orbit at an altitude of 372 kilometers. One of the experiments on board, "Meteorite-2", tested the survival of three species of thermophilic bacteria from Kamchatka as part of an artificial "meteorite" on the outer surface of the device - during the descent the temperature there reached 1200 degrees Celsius. The control group stayed on Earth. As the analysis showed, of the three strains, only one survived -. Carboxydocella thermoautotrophica 019 ◾.
