Scientific question: Is there any difference in the incidence speed of the damage caused by oxidant agents from external origin to the cells in microgravity?...

Hypothesis: It should exist a difference because it has been demostrated that the oxidative stress changes in microgravity, so it is also possible the existence of a difference in the damages caused by oxidants agents from external origin. The free radicals are commonly produced by the organisms, these are usually destroyed by the peroxisomas and enzymes, if they resist that, they can produce damage in proteins and in the DNA, a damage in the DNA can cause cancer; It is also known that the free radicals have been connected with cellular aging...

Method: -Biological Habitat 3 -Muscular cells of rat (Muss Musculus) -An indicator, this will determinate the cell death in the cellular culture (the idea is that it should be one that can let us to see it with our eyes), we know some cellular viability indicators, but we prefer that the scientists of NASA select it because they have more knowledge than us. - A chronometer, this will be necessary to determinate the moment when the cell culture is being affected by the peroxide of hydrogen, we will know it for the action of the indicator in response to cell death.
During the transport of the experiment is necessary to keep the cells alive, so it is necessary to feed them during the fourteen days of the travel. The idea it is to experiment with more than just one concentration of peroxide of hydrogen, this would make a better experiment. At the end, it is necessary to compare the experiment in microgravity with its equivalent in the earth...

Results: we think that the damage caused by the peroxide of hydrogen will be faster and will have more incidences in microgravity than its equivalent in the earth.
