65th day - experiments

06.08.2010

65th day of the experiment. Scientific equipment is in operable condition. Clarification for implementation of special experiments is carried out. The detailed medical examination of the crew has been carried out. There are no alterations of health state which can interfere with participating in the experiment and realizing of scientific program.

The distance between the Earth and space vehicle is 1 457 000 km and the distance between space vehicle and Mars is 279 657 000 km.

The following experiments are carried out regularly:

  • Estimation of effectiveness of physical trainings – “PROPHYLAXIS” (IBMP).
  • Sodium consumption, fluid homeostasis and arterial pressure regulation – “Nutrition” (Germany).
  • Association between psychological characteristics and cardiovascular system functioning – “CardioPsy” (ЕSА).
  • Autogenic training as self-regulation procedure – “Self-regulation” (IBMP).
  • Questionnaire about sleep quality “Blue light-2” (ESA).
  • Investigation of sleep system resistance to stress – “Sleep-1” (Russia).
