This book explores microbial survival in extreme space environments—microgravity, radiation, and vacuum—through experiments on the ISS, planetary missions, and India’s contributions like high-altitude studies and planetary protection. It examines extremophiles’ role in astrobiology, biotechnological applications and challenges like contamination in spaceflight. Connecting microbiology and space science, it offers insights into sustaining life beyond Earth and advancing planetary colonization.
