Back to the Moon: The scientific rationale for resuming lunar surface exploration (2012, background): “, 2004, 2010) and biogeography, for example, showing whether organisms can survive the conditions in interplanetary space and the impact conditions of landing on another planetary surface after being transferred from one planet to another (Clark, 2001; Horneck et al., 2001; Mastrapa et al., 2001; Bu”
Bacterial Spores Survive Simulated Meteorite Impact (2001, methodology): “Mean values and standard errors were calculated for each sample from up to six replicate plates (Figure 5). Although the spore layer showed an intense darkening after the shock treatment, up to 500 spores per sample survived, resulting in a survival rate up to 10 -4 ( Horneck et al. 2001b ).”

Ejection of Martian meteorites (2005, background): “A potential transfer of organisms in meteorites is supported by low-pressure and lowtemperature ejection of Martian meteorites and by new findings in astrobiology (Horneck et al. 2001; Mastrapa et al. 2001).”
