title: Manned space flight--some scientific results.
abstract: The paper presents the data of medical monitoring and physiological research carried out during the flights of V.F. Bykovsky, V.V. Tereshkhova and partially of G. Cooper. The results of measurements of hygienic parameters and microclimate testify to good reliability of life-support systems employed aboard the spacecraft. The analysis of the information of medical monitoring and physiological investigations allows the conclusion to be made that 5-day manned space flight causes no pathological changes. No essential peculiarities related to tolerance of flight factors by woman as compared to man have been revealed either. In conclusion the authors formulate basic tasks confronting physicians in performing physiological and hygienic investigations to promote further development of manned space flight.
