Basic Components Of a Remote Monitoring Technology For Desertification Processes Of Russia’s Arid Pastures Developed

12/24/2025 - 13:00

Research

Researchers from IKI and their colleagues at the Dagestan Federal Research Center of the RAS using Earth remote sensing data developed a methodology, which automatically identifies pastures that have lost their natural vegetation cover due to desertification. They also assessed the changes of exposed sands areas in southern regions of Russia over several years.
On the Nature of Hectometric Continuum-Type Emissions

12/23/2025 - 15:30

Research

Researchers from the Space Plasma Physics Department of IKI RAS proposed a mechanism underlying a new type of terrestrial magnetospheric radio emission — a nonthermal hectometric continuum-type emissions. Having studied its manifestations for nearly seven years, they found regular patterns, which are related, among other things, to solar activity.

12/15/2025 - 15:15

Mission Status

The State Commission has decided to complete the flight tests of the Ionozond space system with the Ionosphere-M No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4 satellites.
Solar System From Outside

12/01/2025 - 12:00

Research

The model describing the infrared radiation of interstellar dust inside the Solar system may help with the studies of the activity of far-away stars.
RSF To Support Small Scientific Teams

12/01/2025 - 09:00

Events

November 29 Russian Science Foundation announced the winners of the contest of small scientific teams. Among them is the project led by IKI scientist.
How Much Water Hides Below Venusian Clouds?

11/27/2025 - 15:57

Research

Using data from Venus Express SPICAV infrared spectrometer, IKI scientists determined the ratio of water vapour in the lowest layers of Venusian atmosphere. Depending on the model, it is 23.6–27.7 ppmv and does not depend on the local time or season. Results are published in Atmosphere journal.
Mikhail Pavlinsky ART-XC Telescope Feels the Rise of Solar Activity in November

11/19/2025 - 09:26

Events

Large solar flares on November 9–11 2025 were the cause of solar mass ejections, which, in turn, resulted in intense geomagnetic storms. On November 10–14 2025 Mikhail Pavlinsky ART-XC telescope onboard Russian Spektr-RG observatory registered the rise in high-energy proton fluxes in L2.
