Moss survived in space for 9 months, study finds

Astronauts affixed the samples to the station's exterior, where they remained for 283 days before coming back to Earth on a Dragon cargo capsule in January 2023. (Cygnus wasn't designed to survive the trip back to Earth, but Dragon crew and cargo craft are reusable.)
