Cosmonautics. From "Tatiana" to "Lomonosov" (2013)

Work on space at Moscow State University began in 1957, when scientists were trying to find out the nature of the processes taking place in near space.

It was Soviet satellites with university instruments that confirmed the theory of the existence of the inner and outer radiation belts of the Earth, for this work scientists were awarded the Lenin Prize.

In total, students and teachers of Moscow State University have developed about 400 instruments for spacecraft and stations.

Today, MSU is the only university in Russia and one of the few in the world that develops its own spacecraft.

This is a promising vector of development of the oldest university in the country, in which the emphasis is on astronautics and astrophysics.

In the spring of 2014, a new MSU spacecraft named after the founder of the university will go into orbit.

Mikhailo Lomonosov will become the third representative of the space flotilla of the main university of the country after two mini-satellites "Tatiana" and "Tatiana-2".

This is the first project in Russia that is funded by the university.
