Scientists can not yet explain how he could be there. Theoretically, he could get there, together with spacecraft launched from Earth. But one of the ski was not made out of the ocean.

The representative of the Russian Space Agency, in charge of the Russian segment of the ISS, Vladimir Solovyov said that probably is unknown to science until the movement of the masses, which rises from the Earth’s surface and reaches of the cosmos, ITAR-TASS reported.

Earlier Roscosmos said that the outer skin of the ISS can live microorganisms. They may even develop. To do this, it was decided to take scrapings from the surface of the station.

The experiment also showed that the surface stations are heavily polluted due to the engines of spacecraft and needs to be cleaned.
