Among other microorganisms, a sample of living S. cerevisiae was included in the Living Interplanetary Flight Experiment, which would have completed a three-year interplanetary round-trip in a small capsule aboard the Russian Fobos-Grunt spacecraft, launched in late 2011.
Unha mostra de S. cerevisiae vivos, entre outros organismos, incluíuse no Experimento Voo Interplanetario Vivo, que tiña que completar unha viaxe interplanetaria de tres anos nunha pequena cápsula que ía abordo da nave espacial rusa Fobos-Grunt, lanzada en 2011.
