Expedition 43/44 (ISS-43/44)

Experiments Program

During Increment 43 and 44, 688 sessions in 72 experiments are planned to be implemented.
54 experiments were initiated in the previous Increments, 12 experiments (Algometriya, Vzaimodeistviye-2, DAN, Kontent, Korrektsiya, Neiroimmunitet, Movement of fluids, Pilot -Т, UDOD, Constanta -2, Produtsent, Fagen) are new experiments.
New experiment "OASIS" is performed according to NASA/Roscosmos protocol of July 18, 2013; five experiments "Cognition", "Fine Motor Skills", "Reaction Self-Test", "Ocular Health" and "Sleep Monitoring" are NASA medical experiments and are performed within a one-year spaceflight with the participation of the Russian cosmonaut.
