Device for mass measurement under zero-gravity conditions.

The problem considered in this paper is the investigation of the properties of a mass-meter, i.e. the device for determining the mass of cosmonaut's body under zero-gravity conditions. The estimates of accuracy of mass measurement by this device are given, and the results of measuring the masses of cosmonauts' bodies on the Salyut 5 and 6 orbital stations are presented.

[Changes in the body weight of cosmonauts during a 140-day space flight].

During 140-day space flight body mass changes of the Commander and Flight-Engineer were measured. No correlation between body mass losses and flight duration was found. Greatest body mass losses occurred on MD 44--59 in Commander (2.3--2.4 kg), and on MD 86 in Flight-Engineer (5.4 kg). Later the losses decreased. The results suggest that body mass changes varied on an individual basis and depended on many spaceflight factors.
