As we prepare for longer human missions beyond Earth, understanding the invisible ecosystems of space habitats has become critical for astronaut health. The International Space Station (ISS) is not just a home and laboratory—it is also a closed microbial and chemical environment unlike anything on Earth. This study mapped the ISS microbiome and metabolome in unprecedented detail, uncovering its vast chemical “dark matter” using SIRIUS.

The easy way to comprehensive structure elucidation
SIRIUS is the comprehensive software solution for the high-throughput identification of small molecules from fragmentation mass spectrometry data. SIRIUS provides a comprehensive set of features spanning every step from feature detection to detailed result validation. It is designed to not only accurately characterize known compounds but also to confidently identify “unknown unknowns” in complex biological samples.
