  • December 19, 2011. Academician Dr. Rashid Sunyaev is awarded 2012 Benjamin Franklin Medal in Physics.

  • July 18, 2011. Russian astrophysical observatory "Spectr-R" was succesfully inserted into the target orbit. The spaceraft separated from the "Fregat-SB" upper stage at 10.06 a.m. Moscow time. The satellite was placed into an elliptic orbit. The space rocket "Zenit-M" with the "Fregat-SB" upper stage and "Spectr-R" spaceraft was launched from The Baikonur Cosmodrome on July 18 at 6.31 a.m. Moscow time.

    The "Plasma-F" scientific complex, developed in IKI in international collaboration is installed onboard the "Spectr-R" spacecraft. The system is designed to provide direct measurements of plasma and magnetic field in the interplanetary medium and the Earth’s magnetosphere.
