Russian neutron telescope LEND aboard LRO mission (NASA) marks its 15th anniversary near the Moon on June 19, 2024. Having orbited the Moon for more than 66 thousand times, it transmitted around 105 terabytes of scientific data and registered around 20 billion lunar neutrons, We publish a new map of water ice distribution in the lunar shallow surface near the South Pole of the Moon.

On June 17, 2024 Academician Dr. Rashid Sunyaev celebrated the 50th year of his work at Space Research Institute.

On 20th May 2024 IKI instuments, working near the Red Planet, caught it and stayed safe.

Galactic Center teems with the most extremal and exotic objects. Among them are so-called filaments — long and thin structures. Some of them are visible in radio, the other — in X-rays. They are supposed to appear as a result of relativistic electrons' and positrons' synchrotron radiation. These particles are born near pulsars — rotating neutron stars with strong magtic fields. New observations support this hypothesis.

IKI researchers and their collegues carried special obervations of ice cover in the Arctic.

Joint project of State Historical Museum and Space Research Institute sheds light on the origin of old manuscripts.

The new catalogue includes more than one and a half thousand objects. Mikhail Pavlinsky ART-XC telescope is one of the two instruments aboard Russian Spektr-RG space observatory, currently working in L2 point.

On May 10-12, 2024 Earth's magnetosphere experienced the most dramatic perturbations in this century, caused by the extreme solar activity and, specifically, coronal mass ejections, which occured on May 7-9, 2024.

On April 24, 2024, the telescope completed fifth all-sky survey.

SN2024ggi, a II-type supernova, was first found on April 11, 2024 by ATLAS project team. It sits in a nearby galaxy NGC3621. Mikhail Pavlinsky ART-XC telescope onboard Spektr-RG observatory was the first to register its X-ray emission.
