INTRODUCTION: The system of countermeasures for the adverse effects microgravity developed in USSR supported successful implementation long-duration spaceflight (LDS) programs on Salyut and Mir orbital stations was subsequently adapted flights International Space Station (ISS). From 2000 through 2010, crews completed 26 ISS flight increments ranging duration from 140 to 216 d, with participation 27 Russian cosmonauts. These have made it possible more precisely determine a crewmember’s level conditioning, better assess advantages disadvantages training processes, prospects future developments.Koslovskaya IB, Yarmanova EN, Yegorov AD, Stepantsov VI, Fomina EV, Tomilovaskaya ES. countermeasure systems .
