BioAstra intends to genetically enhance astronauts for Mars missions. The company aims to develop and test potential countermeasures against DNA-damaging cosmic rays emitted by exploding supernovae, which could bombard crew capsules flying outside Earth's protective magnetic shield. For this purpose the company is preparing three space missions - to low Earth orbit, around the Moon and then during a flight around Mars. To accurately track the genetic changes induced during these three missions, BioAstra will use exact DNA twins - one half of a pair of identical human twins - on each mission, while a "control" sibling will remain on Earth, out of reach of dangerous cosmic and solar radiation.
