Abstract

In this experiment, large organics will be exposed on a long duration radiation facility on the International Space Station. The results of this experiment will help us to identify specific carbonaceous molecules in the interstellar medium (ISM) and to monitor their evolution and possible incorporation into Solar System material. The results also allow us to make predictions concerning the survival probabilities of specific organic species in space.
