The centrifuge run
Have you been dreaming of finding yourself in a cosmonaut seat and experiencing what they really feel when preparing for a space mission? Do you want to test yourself? Then the centrifuge run is what you need!
The Centrifuge run is intended to make cosmonauts experience nominal g-loads affecting them during insertion and re-entry of Soyuz spacecraft. In addition, the centrifuge is used to research endurance of human body being affected by various g-loads.
For this purpose, there are TsF-7 and TsF-18 centrifuges effectively used at Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center with the rotation radius of 7 and 18 meters respectively.
TsF-18 centrifuge is used for cosmonaut physiology research and training under conditions of variable value and direction g-loads and controlled environment (pressure, temperature, humidity, and gas composition) inside the cabin as well as for hardware functionality tests under the effect of g-loads. Maximum g-load that can be achieved when running TsF-18 is 30 g. During the selection and training cosmonauts experience g-loads of 2 to 8 g. The total mass of rotating part of the centrifuge is 300 tons. TsF-18's arm is installed on DC motor rotor with the nominal power of 6 megawatt.
Medical monitoring of cosmonaut health state during the run is provided from the medical panel which displays the following parameters: ECG, heart and respiratory rate, arterial pressure in the shoulder, the ear lobe, etc. The same panel is used for 2-way communication with cosmonaut as well as for video monitoring of his health state.
A specialized dynamic simulator for Soyuz manually controlled re-entry training is designed based on TsF-18 centrifuge.
