Man in space
BIMS Experiment
Objective:
Assessment of efficiency in using telemedical technologies for getting information from ISS RS crews for medical support of human space flights and
information support of life science flight studies.
Tasks:
Conduct of several experimental sessions onboard ISS RS for filming Russian cosmonauts' dermal integument and mucous membrane.
Science Hardware Used:
Kit TBK-1 (telemedical onboard kit) containing:
- secondary power supply unit;
- image capture device;
- otoscope;
- cover;
- cable set.
Flight Equipment Used:
Onboard computer for medical support of Model IBM Think PAD A31p-RSE Med.
Consumables:
- Kit "TBK-1. Accessories"
containing:
- removable nozzles for otoscope;
- wipes;
- cover.
- Kit "TBK-1. Data" containing:
Expected Results:
Project implementation will enable to enhance an efficiency in medical monitoring of human space flights, add to practice of medical support advanced methods and technologies for transmission of real-time information and standardize information support of life science studies onboard the ISS RS.
Experiment Results:
The following examinations are carried out during the experimental session:
- study of small skin sites;
- otorhinolaryngologic examinations (examination of external acoustic meatus, tympanic membranes, examination of nasal passages);
- stomatologic examination of gums and teeth.
Video data is recorder on hard disk of computer RSE-Med and copied to PCMCIA memory card, which will be returned to the ground upon completion of the Expedition.
