Experiences and Prospects of Developing Safety and Life Supporting Systems for Crews in Space Crafts and Orbital Stations

One of the important problems of the piloted space exploration is a provision of safety and vital activity for crews. Among the specific tasks being solved at the State Scientific Center CRDI of Robotics and Technical Cybernetics in the frame if this problem are the following: 1) measurement of navigation parameters at the most crucial phases of space flying vehicles flights (during descending, soft landing, docking); 2) leakage check of manned space crafts and orbital stations; and 3) power supply systems control and monitoring. To solve each of the above mentioned tasks the investigations are carried out with the purpose of substantiated choosing of the principles being optimal for an application in specific measuring systems.
