A new software program, HICOPS, improved cardiovascular experiments for astronauts by simplifying procedures and ensuring consistent data collection in microgravity. This enhanced astronaut training and experimental accuracy during space missions.

Area of Science:

  • Space Physiology
  • Human Physiology in Microgravity
  • Cardiovascular Research

Background:

  • Traditional protocol books are inefficient for microgravity experiments.
  • A software program was developed for the CARDIOCOG cardiovascular experiment.
  • The software was tested and deployed on the International Space Station (ISS).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a software program for guiding cosmonauts during space experiments.
  • To improve efficiency and accuracy in microgravity research.
  • To standardize data collection for cardiovascular physiology experiments.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a stand-alone software application in LabVIEW.
  • Thorough testing by CNES and Russian space authorities.

  • Implementation and use during the Odissea and Cervantes space missions.

    • Main Results:

    • Simplified error handling and experimental sequence navigation for cosmonauts.
    • Ensured consistent experimental duration through program-imposed timing.
    • Enabled accurate reconstruction of experimental sequences via log-files.
    • Facilitated precise control of breathing frequencies using a visual aid.

    Conclusions:

    • Reduced training requirements for cosmonauts.
    • Streamlined experiment reconstruction and timing.
    • Achieved standardized data acquisition for cardiovascular experiments.
    • Cosmonauts preferred the HICOPS software over traditional paper protocols.
