Abstract: 
One of the most important problems associated with manned space flights is the alteration of normal temporal physiology in an astronaut's organism. This necessitates the investigation of space-environment effects on human chronobiological architectonics as a basis for elaboration of countermeasure strategies. We developed a new cell model. It is established that human blood lymphocytes contain a photosensitive circadian clock and the culture of those cells may be used for the study of the influence of space factors (especially, microgravity) on circadian rhythms in human organism.
