In the framework of the Artemis mission a range of biological experiments on the lunar surface are foreseen, e.g., the lunar environment biology campaign, to study the impact of realistic space environment (low gravity, temperate, vacuum) on model organisms. To study these biological systems, their growth, survival, and decay, we propose to employ laser-based mass spectrometry to investigate the chemicals involved in the metabolism, organic molecules related to living matter, and specific biological compounds, of the organisms used in these studies in detail, and ideally in real-time.
