Popis: The problem of artificial gravity (AG) in long-term missions is one of the hottest, as the existing countermeasures do not fully cope with the negative consequences of weightlessness. From two variants of AG creation--rotation of space systems around of their mass center or short radius centrifuge (SAC)--the preference is given to SAC, as technically easier variant for realization. However, the rotation of a person on SAC can cause not only positive, but also negative effects. The purpose of the present study was to perform the analysis of data of researches on a problem of AG generated by a of SAC, executed in Russia during last 20 years, and to state modern views on application of SAC as a mean of AG creation in long piloted missions.
