Abstract

The review examines the role of domestic space medicine and physiology in space exploration and emphasizes that domestic space medicine will focus on biological, physiological, and psychological aspects of humans. The main task of specialists in the field of space medicine and physiology is to prepare for future stages of manned astronautics, using existing accumulated experience, new developments, and assessing the forecast of probable events and situations that the human will inevitably encounter in this new world.
