The Organizational Features of Control, Reception, and Monitoring of Scientific Information in the Nucleon Space Experiment

Abstract

The NUCLEON experiment is conducted via collaboration of Russian research organizations under the leadership of the Skobel’tsyn Institute of Nuclear Physics. The experiment is aimed at studying the elemental composition and energy spectra of galactic cosmic rays in the ranges of nuclear charges Z = 1–30 and energies of 10¹¹–10¹⁵ eV. The research facilities of the experiment were installed on the Resurs-P No. 2 Russian spacecraft as an additional payload. The features of control of the scientific equipment and construction of the computer system responsible for the reception, storage, and quality control of scientific information of the experiment are presented.
