High-Level Project Summary
The characteristics of Targrade and Deinococcus Radiodurans organisms such as their ability to withstand harsh conditions can be taken and transferred to other organisms. These studies can help us in our work in space. For example, properties such as resistance to high radiation, resistance to airlessness can be used. In short, if the characteristics of such durable creatures can be transferred to other animals, space studies can be facilitated.

Detailed Project Description
Important characteristics of living things that can withstand extreme conditions are transferred to other living things and used in important studies. If traits are transferred through gene transfer, it can withstand high conditional challenges. It can provide convenience in space studies.

We learned about the risks here, and it enabled us to search for creatures that would provide resistance to them.
Hackathon Journey
During this journey, we learned about togetherness, time management. We were hopeful at first, then we were afraid, but we came to ourselves in the last minutes and finished quickly. Thank you to all our teachers who supported us.
