This was part of an exercise conducted by the European Space Agency Mission.
The Orkney rock holds evidence to the fact of life on earth thanks to the biological deposits on it. Even though it experiences extreme temperatures while going and coming back to the earth’s atmosphere, the rock can hide chemical information which hold clues to life and biology. Called the Orkney rock, it was part of the unmanned Foton M3 mission.

They are on a quest to track down some of exciting and enigmatic Kangaroo Rat’s habitat lost to farming in the San Joaquin Valley where the place is no more a desert but a broken patchworks of farms. The extinction of these rats will cause imbalance in the ecosystem. Repercussions of species loss on ecosystem processes depend on the effects of the lost species.
