The Bion-M1 mission provided a unique opportunity to study the effects of spaceflight on mammalian physiology. Mice were selected based on health criteria, behavioral assessments, and stress tolerance. Training protocols included habituation to confinement and simulated microgravity conditions.

This study examined the training and selection process for mice participating in the -day orbital mission. Abstract The Bion-M1 mission provided a unique opportunity to study the effects of spaceflight on mammalian physiology. Methods Twenty mice were selected from a pool of candidates based on health screenings, behavioral tests, and stress response assessments. Selected mice underwent days of training including confinement habituation, vibration exposure, and simulated microgravity conditions using a rotating platform. Conclusion The training and selection protocol successfully prepared mice for spaceflight conditions.
