The program of the 5 day flight of the biosatellite Cosmos-1514 (December 1983) envisaged experimental investigations the purpose of which was to ascertain the effect of short-term microgravity on the physiology, growth and development of various animal and plant species. The study of Rhesus-monkeys has shown in that they are an adequate model for exploring the mechanisms of physiological adaptation to weightlessness of the vestibular apparatus and the cardiovascular system. The rat experiment has demonstrated that mammalian embryos, at least during the last term of pregnancy, can develop in microgravity. This finding has been confirmed by fish studies. The experiment on germinating seeds and adult plants has given evidence that microgravity produces no effect on the metabolism of seedlings and on the flowering stage.
生物卫星“宇宙-1514”号1983年12月为期5天的飞行计划设想进行实验研究，其目的是确定短期微重力对各种动植物物种的生理、生长和发育的影响。对恒河猴的研究表明，它们是探索前庭器官和心血管系统对失重生理适应机制的合适模型。大鼠实验表明，至少在妊娠后期，哺乳动物胚胎能够在微重力环境下发育。鱼类研究证实了这一发现。对发芽种子和成年植物的实验表明，微重力对幼苗的新陈代谢和开花阶段没有影响。
