title: Space radiobiology program in Russia.
abstract: The space radiobiology program in Russia is aimed at obtaining fundamental data for developing radiation safety criteria.  These criteria are necessary for long-term space missions.  This program includes : -substantiation of radiation hazard estimation principles based on the radiation risk conception, -investigation of the radiation affection regularities under the combined influence of the spaceflight factors, -experimental investigation of the HZE-particle delayed effects and acute somatic effects induced by protons and electrons, -individual radiosensitivity investigation, -mathematic modeling of radiobiological effects , -radiobiological basis of control and forecast of radiation influence in space, -development of methods and means of an organism's radioresistance increase.
