More space news and info at: http://www.coconutsciencelab.com - as part of ESA’s Expose-R2 project, 46 species of bacteria, fungi and arthropods were delivered by a Progress supply ship to the International Space Station in July 2014. 

Spacewalking cosmonauts Alexander Skvortsov and Oleg Artemyev attached the package to the outside of the Zvezda module on August 18, 2014, where it stayed until it was retrieved 18 months later. 

This video shows scenes from a spacewalk with cosmonauts Gennadi Padalka and Mikhail Kornienko, who were asked to photograph the Expose-R2 facility half-way through its stay in space, August 10, 2015 – the samples had traveled around the world more than 8,500 times by then. 

Expose-R2 was returned inside the International Space Station Station by Yuri Malenchenko and Sergei Volkov during a spacewalk on February 3, 2016 and stored ahead of return to Earth.
