Russia's Bion-M No.2 satellite landed safely, bringing back 75 mice from orbit. As 10 mice died, researchers attributed it to aggressive male intra-group conflicts rather than environmental or technical failures. The mission tested biological resilience, with some mice genetically modified to handle radiation. Findings will help develop measures to protect astronauts on long space missions.
