Are there any life forms on human satellites in outer space?

I was just wondering if simple life forms from Earth, when brought to space, survive (adapt) in the new environment, or die altogether. Of course, by "satellites" I don't mean the inside of the ISS.

Simply - yes.
Artefacts have been retrieved from space (and the moon i think) after a significant amount of time and found that the bacteria on them entered a dormant phase, which sprung back to life once back in Earth conditions.

Many bacteria are known as Extremophiles and can live in harsh conditions such as very acidic, very hot and very cold environments where no other forms of life can survive. Space being one of them.

If you're asking 'can bacteria thrive in space' then i don't know exactly, but they can survive.
