Abstract:

Experiments were performed involving the use of programmed physiological research on the Voskhod spacecraft. Using but one radiotelemetry channel to record three, single-phase tests requiring a total of ten minutes, a great volume of data and new facts of interest concerning the impact of zero gravity on the various organic systems were obtained. The Voskhod space mission pointed out the feasibility of conducting medical research along the lines of a specific program performed by the cosmonauts themselves, the expedience of using the removable sensors and electrodes, and the feasibility of relaying a great quantity of data utilizing a limited number of telemetry channels. At the same time, the experiment indicated the proficiency of cosmonauts in executing specific tasks. Author
