LUNA-2015

On October 28, 2015 the new 8-days ladies-participants isolation experiment started at SSC RF Institute of Biomedical Problems (IBMP) RAS. The experiment imitated the flight to the Moon and back to the Earth. The project which was named “Luna-2015” is aimed at investigation of psychophysiological aspects of the female organism in conditions of isolation in hermetic object, the influence of G force “head-pelvis” when the Centrifuge of the Short Radius is rotating. Besides in the conditions of isolation (analogue experiment) the complex of scientific equipment will be put to an evaluation test for their further usage on ISS. The project “Luna-2015” is initiated by the State scientific centre of the Russian Federation – Institute of Biomedical Problems RAS under the aegis of the Russian Federal Space Agency and the Russian Academy of Sciences. It includes several experiments imitating different aspects of interplanetary manned mission. Its basis is the series of experiments including long-term isolation of the crew in conditions of specially constructed ground experimental complex.

The modeling of the flight to the closest Earth satellite was done intentionally: the Moon exploration is included into the Federal space program of Russia fro 2016-2025.

CJSC “SDPC “Dynaforce” is the official partner of the project “Luna-2015”.
