Abstract
Space medicine is devoted to the study of human body physiology in extreme conditions, both during real space flight and modeling individual factors on Earth. The cascade of adaptive reactions to changing environmental conditions starts in the smallest units of the cardiovascular system - the microcirculatory tissue systems (MTS). Therefore, choosing MTS as the object of research in space medicine allows us to gain fundamental knowledge about body functioning, assess the individual reaction of a cosmonaut's body, improve the biomedical training system and ensure the safety of spaceflight using a personalized approach. It is possible to using portable analyzers of blood microcirculation and oxidative metabolism of biological tissues, which implement methods of optical noninvasive diagnostics in a compact wireless design.
The results of the work include an assessment of changes in the MTS parameters, which occur under the influence of individual factors during training loke hypoxia, overloads, orthostatic and vestibular loads (measurements were carried out on the basis of the Gagarin Research and Test Cosmonaut Training Center) and its complex influence during real space flights (measurements conducted on the International Space Station).
