Abstract (croatian)

Astrobiologija (nekoć exobiologija) interdisciplinarno je područje proučavanja živog svemira. Astrobiologija predstavlja potragu za izvanzemaljskim životom, istraživanjem in situ, spektroskopijom sunčeve i izvansolarne planetarne atmosfere i potragu za vanzemaljskom inteligencijom. NASA-in svemirski program „Habitable Worlds“ organiziran između različitih odjela bavi se istraživanjem kojim se znanje o povijesti Zemlje i života na njoj nastoji upotrijebiti kao vodič za određivanje nastanjivosti okruženja izvan Zemlje. U 21. stoljeću sve je više astrobioloških misija, uglavnom na Mars, čiji je glavni cilj pronaći postojeći ili izumrli biološki materijal na temelju kojeg se proučavaju karakteristike izvanzemaljskog života. Sastavni je dio astrobiologije i svemirska poljoprivreda koja predstavlja koncept bioregenerativne podrške životu za istraživanje svemira s posadom s ciljem da posade same uzgoje hranu za svoje potrebe. Osim uzgoja hrane, svemirska poljoprivreda istražuje i kako živi organizmi reagiraju na uvjete u svemiru. Cilj je ovog istraživanja bio pomoću autonomnih bespilotnih letjelica (ABPL) istražiti stupanj preživljavanja kukaca u stratosferi te utjecaj stratosfernih čimbenika na biološke procese kukaca. Prvi su rezultati pokazali značajne promjene u biologiji odrasle ženke Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say, 1824), no za konkretne zaključke potrebno je provesti dodatna istraživanja.

Abstract (english)

Astrobiology (formerly exobiology) is an interdisciplinary field of research
that deals with the living universe. Astrobiology represents the search for
extraterrestrial life through in situ research, spectroscopy of solar and
extrasolar planetary atmospheres, and the search for extraterrestrial
intelligence. NASA 's Habitable Worlds program is involved in research that
seeks to use knowledge of Earth history and life as a guide for determining the
habitability of extraterrestrial environments. In the 21st century, there are an
increasing number of astrobiology missions, especially to Mars, whose main
goal is to find existing or extinct biological material that can be used to study
the properties of extraterrestrial life and the universal principle of biology. An
integral part of astrobiology is also space agriculture, which is the concept of
bioregenerative life support for human spaceflight, with the goal of having the
crew grow food for itself. In addition to growing food, space agriculture is
studying how living organisms would respond to space conditions. The purpose
of this study was to use small unmanned aerial vehicle to investigate whether
insects can survive in the stratosphere and how stratospheric factors affect
insect biological processes. The initial results showed significant changes in the
biology of adult female Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say, 1824), but further
studies are needed to draw better conclusions.
