The paper discusses the results of five studies on 35 test subjects conducted to test diets of dehydrated products to be used in prolonged space flights. The studies have demonstrated that a diet consisting of only dehydrated food products can be used for a prolonged time (up to 1 year). Dehydrated foods after a 2-year storage and proton irradiation at a dose of 24,000 rad retain their biological value and assure an adequate nutritional status. On this basis a space diet composed of dehydrated foods has been developed.
本文讨论了对35名受试对象进行的五项研究结果，这些研究旨在测试用于长期太空飞行的脱水产品饮食。研究表明，仅由脱水食品组成的饮食可长期使用（长达1年）。脱水食品在储存两年并接受24000拉德剂量的质子辐照后，仍保持其生物学价值，并能确保充足的营养状况。在此基础上，开发了一种由脱水食品组成的太空饮食。
