Tardigardes / Bear Water, Animals That Can Live In Outer Space

Tardigrades (known as Water Bears / Bears Water) is part of supefilum Ecdysozoa, phylum Tardigrada. The size is very small, live in water, with a total of eight feet. Tardigrades Eprhaim first described by Goeze in 1773.

Tardigrades name means "slow walker" given by Spallanzani (1777). Tardigrades adult body length is 1.5 mm, the smallest size is 0.1 mm, 0.05 mm-sized larvae.





Tardigrades can be found in all parts of the world, ranging from Himalayan peaks to the bottom of the ocean, and from the poles to the equator. A favorite place where berganggang. On the beach, land and water can be found in this mini beast.


The most interesting of these animals is the ability to adapt in a very extreme environment. Tardigrades can survive in a frozen environment (0oC) up in a high-temperature (151oc).

Even to withstand radiation 1,000 times higher than the amount of radiation in which other living things can survive. Therefore, animals known as tardigrades polyextremeophiles.

With these capabilities, tardigrades are living creatures that can survive in the event of nuclear war or another natural disaster is extreme. Even tardigrades can live for 120 years in dry conditions.

Another unique capability of tardigrades are able to survive in conditions of space vacuum. In a study selama10 day tardigrades can live in outer space environment.

Tardigrades that mengangkasa using spacecraft FOTON-M3 by the European Space Agency, can survive in a state of vacuum, exposed to cosmic rays, and can even survive the sun's UV radiation 1,000 times higher than in the surface radiation.
