CARDIOCOG-2 experiment is a part of the science research program to be performed aboard the ISS RS by Pedro Duque, ESA astronaut of Spanish nationality
in the frame of the CERVANTES Project and continued
CARDIOCOG experiment performed under the ODISSEA
Project. The European Space Agency is a customer for the preparation and implementation of the scientific program.
Objective:
Study of regulation of blood pressure and heart beat rate, as well as investigation of physiological reactions when performing cognitive tests.
Tasks:
- Investigation of effects of microgravity on the cardiovascular system and interactions between the cardiovascular and respiratory systems.
- Investigation of alterations of cognitive system and stress reactions caused by spaceflight conditions
