Federal state enterprise “Arsenal” design department develops another science project “Nucleon’, aimed at studying high-energy cosmic radiation.
      
      Main concept of “Nucleon” project is development of low weight (up to 200 kg) and small-size (up to 1 m3) science equipment, able to solve burning issues of space exploration.
      
      Scientists have done a great job providing necessary conditions for successful space studies – they’ve adapted scientific equipment for spaceship base by:
      
      - placing scientific equipment aboard the spaceship providing necessary conditions for its operation;
      - providing electric power supply;
      - providing control command distribution;
      - transferring science and telemetry data to terrestrial receivers.
      
      This five-year experiment starts in 2008.
