Contract activities on ISS Russian Segment
Experiment Cardiocog
Objective:
Acquire new scientific data for profound understanding of the mechanisms of adaptation of cardiorespiratory system to space flight conditions.
Tasks:
- Investigate long-duration weightlessness on vegetative regulation of the cardiovascular system and interactions
between the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, as well as investigate stress reactions caused by
weightlessness and space flight conditions.
- Compare alterations in the activity of the cardiovascular system occurring in a long-duration flight with
pre- and post-flight data.
- Study a level of vegetative regulation after return to the ground and its relation to orthostatic instability.
- Correlate effects of a long- and short-duration weightlessness on the cardiovascular system.
