PURPOSE:
Acquiring new scientific information to refine the
understanding about the mechanisms of adapting the
cardiorespiratory system and the whole organism to
space flight conditions.
OBJECTIVE:
- Integrated study of a cardiovascular system
of astronauts in various phases of a long-duration
mission in order to clarify the adaptation mechanisms
and phases and determine diagnostic criteria
for individual assessment of the organism adaptation
to zero-gravity conditions;
- Study of the synchronization of heart activity
and breathing factors, as well as the cardiorespiratory
system control processes based on variability
rate of physiological parameters;
- Study of interconnection between the cardiorespiratory
system during a long-duration mission and tolerance
of orthostatic and physical activities at the
beginning of readaptation for predicting possible
reactions of the crewmembers organism during
the their return to ground.
EXPECTED RESULTS:
The as-built hardware-software facility will
allow to acquire information necessary for early
determination of disturbances in the physiological
function regulation system, that is very important
for predicting a functional status of cosmonauts
and scientifically justified regulation of loads.
EXPERIMENT RESULTS:
The following physiological data will be recorded
during the experiment:
- Electrocardiogram;
- Impedance cardiogram;
- Low-frequency phonocardiogram (seismocardiogram);
- Pneumotachogram (using nose temperature sensors)
- Finger photopletismogram.
All physiological data will be recorded on the PCMCIA
card, which will be downloaded upon completion of
the increment. |
