Abstract Experiments aboard “Spacelab-D1” and “Cosmos-1887” revealed an adverse effect of space flight on Carausius morosus embryos. The main influencing factor for stick insect eggs turned out to be microgravity, while the contribution of HZE particles of cosmic radiation was relatively low. Flight experiments indicated an increased vulnerability of stick insect eggs to microgravity at intermediate stages of development, that could support the “convection” hypothesis.
