IKI is among 195 winning organizations.

The Minister wishes a fruitful and successful New Year 2024.

Our warmest wishes for the upcoming new year 2024!

A series of lectures for 7-10-year-students under the supplemental program on space physics ran at IKI in the end of 2023, as part of the project "Academic Class at Moscow School".

In the last two months of 2023 students of 7–10-year visited a series of lessons on project and research activities at IKI, as part of the project "Academic Class at Moscow School".

Scientists from IKI Earth Research From Space Department develop new algorithms for microwave radiometer data onboard the spacecraft of Meteor-M series. These results are alrady being integrated into VEGA-Science information system.

When Voyagers left the Solar System in 2010's, they discovered that the inner heliosheath is significantly thinner than predicted. Now, the 3D MHD-modelling run by IKI scientists showed that the fact can be explained, if we consider the effect of hot electrons and their thermal conductivity. Their results were published in MNRAS and are available on arXiv.org.

Annual all-Russian conference "High Energy Astrophyiscs Today And Tomorrow 2023", aka HEA–2023, starts on Monday, December 18 at IKI.

IKI researchers together with art experts from Kirillo-Belozersky Museum explore the possibilities to restore ancient masterpieces using artificial neural networks.

A new technique to estimate the size of particles in polar stratospheric and noctlilucent clouds was suggested by Oleg Ugolnikov, senior researchers at IKI. With the accuracy comparable to that of lidars and satellites, this method involves much simpler equipment, such as off-the-shelf RGB-cameras. Studies of these atmospheric phenomena are crucial to understand climate changes.
