Abstract: Space chronobiology is a new discipline born from the development of manned spaceflight. As a branch of chronobiology, this new discipline studies the interaction between space environment and time structure, and the rhythm of biological systems, its mechanism and applications under various space environments. This paper discusses its background, basic concepts, research content, research techniques and methods; also its applications to spaceflight.
