The human thermoregulation study during space operation has such practical result as scientific justification of automatic thermal control system (ATCS). A primary goal is a maintenance of the thermal comfort during all possible types of human activity. It is an optimal control aim to ATCS. The main purpose of ATCS development is an identification of physiologically valuable requirements and validation of optimal laws to control human thermal status in the space suit conditions. An identification is possible only if we have a good knowledge of the control aim and current thermal status. It needs to have a criterion or assessment of interface between thermal status, actions and disturbances. The model of human thermoregulation and metabolism in space suit with ventilation loop and water cooling loop is a theoretical basis for experimental tests of ATCS. Our model has two interdependent parts: 1) anatomical/physiological compartment and 2) technical compartment.
