A Mars manned mission is practically impossible without resolving some problems on the ground with test subjects involved related to crew life-support psychological stability, fitness to work during a long-duration, self-sustained space mission. One of the problems to be resolved in spaceflight is the crew’s health and fitness work. These factors are possible to investigate in a ground experiment to make more effective preparation for interplanetary missions including a Mars mission. Another problem lies in failure-free functioning of onboard systems and first of all the Integrated Regenerative Life-Support System (IRLSS) in the Mars-500 project. The crew plays a key role in maintaining system operability and reliability the entire mission. In order to make long-duration, self-sustained interplanetary missions a reality it is necessary to provide crew support and its activities under conditions essentially different from those of earth orbital flights. Specifics of interplanetary flights include: • long duration (over 960 day) missions with the crew being in confined space that demands: • expansion of functions of IRLSS functions related to crew personal; • prompt parameters of the crew’s environment under spaceflight conditions; • the necessity of carrying out the crew’s medical control and strain relief on-board the spacecraft. • Self-sustained manned flight is characterized by: • lack of renewal expendables units; • the systems incorporated in the IRLSS architecture shell ensure trouble-free performance over the entire flight with minimal spare parts and expendables required; • the necessity of decision-making by crew as identification and localization of possible off-normal situations related to the IRLSS due to limited intervention on the part of the ground mission control center to control the crew’s actions. Investigations into prolonged influence of the conditions of self-sustained interplanetary flight on crewmembers’ intellectual faculties in operation of the IRLSS are of prime |
