And sporophytes were placed outside the ISS where they lived for about nine months. And afterwards, they were returned to Earth. And models were then developed to show that the moss spores survived about 15 years in space. And the Earth-based testing showed that the vacuum of space, along with microgravity and extreme temperature changes, had little impact on the samples. But those exposed to UV did last well. Chlorophyll-A, this is the green type, but actually there's Chlorophyll-A and there's also Chlorophyll-B implants. Chlorophyll-B acts as an enhancement for Chlorophyll-A to allow to process more light.
