Monitoring of Natural and Technogenic Space Hazards: Results of the Lomonosov Mission and Universat-SOCRAT Project

The results of experiments onboard the Lomonosov satellite on observing natural and technogenic space hazards including electromagnetic transients and space debris are discussed. A new space project Universat-SOCRAT being developed by Moscow State University is also discussed. The project aims to cr...

More Information
Summary:The results of experiments onboard the Lomonosov satellite on observing natural and technogenic space hazards including electromagnetic transients and space debris are discussed. A new space project Universat-SOCRAT being developed by Moscow State University is also discussed. The project aims to create a constellation of small satellites for real-time monitoring of the radiation environment and potentially hazardous objects of natural (asteroids, meteoroids) and technogenic origin (space debris) in near-Earth space, and such phenomena as cosmic and atmospheric gamma-ray bursts and optical and ultraviolet radiation flashes from Earth’s atmosphere.
