Human Life Research on ISS Russian Segment

Biotest-1 Experiment

Objective:

Evaluation of the effect of sympathoadrenal system on mechanisms of adaptation to short-term space flight.

Tasks:

Taking blood samples for:
• a study of biochemical regulation of body homeostasis during adaptation to weightless environment;
• a study of the role of hormonal mechanisms in the variations in the water-salt, lipid, and protein exchange;
• selection of informative biochemical indicators to evaluate cosmonaut's health.

Standard Hardware:

Centrifuge "Plasma-03"; Mini-centrifuge M1100; Consumables: A set of consumables for "Plasma-03"; Container KB-03.	"Reflotron-4" kit; A set of accessories for "Reflotron-4".

Expected Results:

The received information on the metabolism state makes possible assessment of the cosmonauts' physical state throughout long-duration space flights and will be used as the basis for development and improvement of diagnostic and prophylaxis tools.
