The gravity on the moon is six times less than the earth's, so it is necessary to reduce the blood pressure and the load on the feet and spine by six times, said Academician Viktor Baranov.

MOSCOW, December 21. /tass/. Russian scientists will begin modeling lunar gravity to study its effect on astronauts in 2023. This was stated to journalists on Tuesday by the chief researcher of the Institute of Biomedical Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Academician Viktor Baranov.

"Now the task is to start modeling the physiological effects that may be on the lunar surface, of course, the study of the astronauts' performance. We still hope that the lunar program will be carried out. We ourselves plan that the technical base could be ready next year. I think that it will not take a lot of funds to finance the creation of special devices that allow you to simulate lunar gravity, and we plan to start these studies from 2023," Baranov said.

According to him, the gravity on the Moon is six times less than the earth's, so it is necessary to reduce the blood pressure and the load on the feet and spine by six times. Such conditions can be created in Russian scientific laboratories.

The promising space manned spacecraft "Eagle" (formerly called "Federation") is being created as part of the Russian lunar program. The first launch of the "Eagle" without astronauts on board is scheduled for December 15, 2023 from the Vostochny cosmodrome, during this flight, the docking of the ship with the ISS is not provided. In 2024, the Eagle will perform a second flight (also without astronauts), followed by docking with the station. In 2028, it should make a manned flyby of the moon.
