Russia to the international space station to install special LED light source, which can simulate the diurnal variation of the earth

According to Russian media reports, Russia's regional international space station will be installed to simulate the earth day and night light changes in the new lighting system. To this end, the Russian space rocket energy company developed a variable light source. Scientists believe that technology will be beneficial to the health of astronauts to ensure normal life rhythm and psychological comfort.

It is reported that the rocket learned from the energy company, in addition to the lights being used outside the international space station will also introduce the light source with special function.

The company said: "in order to make the astronauts easier to adapt to the International Space Station Russia's regional environment, we developed a light source that can change over time. The dynamic change of light will imitate the earth day and night - morning, day and night."

Study of the Russian Academy of Sciences participated in the medical and biological problems of spacecraft lighting system test that, the installation of new lamps will have a positive impact on the health of astronauts.

The Institute spokesman Alexander Smolevski explained: "this light can make people obtain the circadian rhythm of nature, as in the earth's environment."

He said, after the earth condition lights will create psychological comfort, promote the adjustment work rhythm.

He pointed out: "even in the face of the earth, most of the time people is spent in artificial light, especially in the winter days are short and the nights long. In addition to simulation of diurnal variation of external light source, but also need to add at any time allowed to complete the work. The system does not repel each other, but complement each other."

It is expected that the new lighting system will be installed first in the cabin, including a small study class. These lights will be arranged in the astronauts do not often go to a place, in order to create a work space for ventilation as they go.

The United States space station also conducted a similar test area. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) revealed that the relevant systems have been delivered to the space station. The agency said: "this led to repair sleep, improve the overall condition of the body. And it is the general lighting of lower energy consumption and longer life."

The energy space rocket that is currently continuing new manufacturing and R & D lighting control equipment. The new system is scheduled for 2019 in the region of Russia put into use.
