Geophysics research on ISS Russian Segment
Vsplesk Experiment
Objective:
Study of processes binding seismic processes and phenomena in the earth's crust, magnetosphere, ionosphere and Van Allen belt, and physical nature of seismic effects in near-earth space, as well assessment of possible prediction of earthquakes by bursts of high-energy charged particles in near-earth space.
Tasks:
- Installing Vsplesk hardware inside the station and external to the pressurized module during EVA
- Recording bursts of high-energy particles in near-earth space.
Science Hardware Used:
Support Equipment:
- Internal cable set
- Cable holder
- Vsplesk cable kit
- Platform with locks
Expected Results:
Investigation of physical processes in near-earth space using Vsplesk hardware will allow not only understand the nature of seismomagnetospheric phenomena, but also advance in solution of real-world problems in developing prediction methods for earthquakes by space systems.
Experiment Results:
Scientific data bank generated as a result of recording bursts of high-energy charged particles and measuring their spatial, time and energy characteristics.
