THE OBJECTIVE:
To study the mechanisms of effects of heavy charged
particles in cosmic radiation and the phosphenes (light
flashes) that they create on visual analyzers and
central nervous system of the cosmonaut and his capacities
as an operator in space flight environment.
THE TASKS:
- radiology studies in the field of space particle
physics;
- electrophysiology studies of the level of total
effects of space flight on the functional state
of the cosmonaut's central nervous system.
EXPECTED RESULTS:
Obtaining the data on the radiation safety of cosmonauts
during long-duration and long-range missions, as well
as the dynamics of their central nervous system functional
state and changes in the level of their capacity as
operators under these conditions. Determining the
level of radiation protection in working compartments
of ISS RS more precisely.
