Alexander Misurnkin shared his impressions of participation in Experiment “Constellation”

Cosmonaut Roscosmos Alexander Misurnkin returned from the expedition to the ISS, which lasted 12 days, December 20, 2021. The next day, he began to participate in the post-flight stages of the experiment “Constellation LM 21/22”.

Daily Cosmonaut performed tasks on various simulators, demonstrating the skills of complex operator activities. The purpose of the “Constellation” experiment is to study the human ability to move, manage technique, perform various tasks when flying to the moon and Mars.

12-day expedition to the ISS, in which Alexander Misurnkin visited, can be compared with the flight to the moon and back. The first postolete study for Alexander Misurkin took place on the exit-2 simulator, then at a helicopter, further on the simulator of the planet tooth, as well as on the TS-18 and Don-Union simulators. Tests were held day after day.

“It is very important to study the studies of the health of the cosmonauts, to understand that a person will be able to be able to fly to distant cosmos and work on the surfaces of the Moon and Mars. It is very happy to personally take part in these experiments,” said Alexander Misurnkin. – Based on its observations I can say that as a result of a short space flight, potential difficulties with operator activities can only be observed for the first, maximum on the second day after landing. The first time there are some problems with coordination of movement, motorcy, reaction speed. “

According to Alexander Misurkin, the unpleasant sensations are quite quickly disappeared, therefore it makes sense to leave a number of tests for later. Better all the stages of “constellation” can be carried out as early as possible until the cosmonaut still feels the consequences of staying in weightlessness. With this initiative, Alexander Misurnkin plans to appeal to the experiment developers.
