Several space experiments, including a study of the effect of radiation on the effectiveness of medicines, may be conducted by cosmonauts at the Russian Orbital Station (ROS). The corresponding proposal came from the Federal Medical-Biological Agency (FMBA) of Russia.
The Center for Space Medicine and Biology of the FMBA of Russia coordinates the targeted work, the agency explained.
The work is aimed at studying the impact of space flight factors on various biological objects. Four proposed projects have already been included in the plan.
This includes studying the preservation of the properties of therapeutic stem cells after freezing for potential use by cosmonauts. In addition, scientists can study changes in human organ systems, conduct experiments with cosmic radiation, and develop a method for disinfecting instrument surfaces. The FMBA of Russia also proposed to study the effect of microgravity on gene activity.
Currently, the Russian segment of the International Space Station (ISS) conducts many scientific experiments in various fields – from materials science to artificial intelligence. For example, within the framework of the "Plasma Crystal – 4" experiment, scientists are studying how dust particles behave in plasma in microgravity conditions. The data obtained will help improve spacecraft. The station also produces ultra-pure gallium arsenide semiconductor films.
