THE OPTIONS DIAGRAM. “Figure 5. Possible ways of intact DNA (bacterial forms) transfer to the orbit of the ISS and from ISS surface. Kinetic constants of different transfer pathways of microorganisms are indicated as follows: hypothetic Arrhenius’ way from the interplanetary space: possible mass transfer of the dispersed matter from the Earth surface to the ISS orbit with the ascending branch of the global electric circuit: possible contamination way from ISS internal volume to ISS surface, and : dissipation of the dust from the ISS surface to space.” https://lnkd.in/dNHWs6R View in LinkedIn

THE OPTIONS. “It is clear that there are different possible ways of dust transport to (and from) ISS not excluding the possibility of interstellar or interplanetary panspermia (Figure 5).” https://lnkd.in/dNHWs6R View in LinkedIn

UPWARD MECHANISM HYPOTHESIS. “Transfer from the stratosphere to the ionosphere might be possible with the ascending branch of the global electrical circuit due to a variety of coupled mechanisms of turbulent electrothermodiffusion accompanied by mass transfer of dispersible material although these processes need further exploration.” https://lnkd.in/dNHWs6R View in LinkedIn

UNKNOWN BIOSPHERE BOUNDARY. “The result of this transfer is a steady presence of a microbial community in the stratosphere (Table 2, line 2), thus raising the question of the upper boundary of the biosphere.” https://lnkd.in/dNHWs6R View in LinkedIn

BEYOND THE UPWARD CURRENT. “Transport from the troposphere to the stratosphere is also well described. It should be stressed that the transfer of dispersed particles from the troposphere to the stratosphere is possible not only during/via catastrophic events (volcanic eruptions, forest fires), but also during the passage of vortex areas where the troposphere dramatically changes its height.” https://lnkd.in/dNHWs6R View in LinkedIn
