More that 1.1 terabytes of telemetry data have been downstreamed to the Earth, which later turned into tens of terabytes of scientific data. More than 70 papers have been already published, which investigate hundreds and thousands of X-ray sources. Russian Science Foundation to Support Young Scientists On July 11, 2023 RSF announced the results of three 2023 competitions for young scientists. KMSS-2 First Images First images by Satellite Multiband Imaging System (KMSS-2) onboard Meteor-M №2-3 meteosat show the shores of Turkey and Norway. IKI Instruments to Look At Sun and Earth On Tuesday, June 27 Meteor-M №2-3 satellite was launched from Vostochny together with 42 small spacecraft. IXPE Finds Polarization of the X-ray Emission From Molecular Clouds in the Milky Way's Centre This finding confirms the hypothesis that the supermassive black hole in the center of our Galaxy once had been much more active that it is now. The results are published in the Nature journal. Transient X-ray Pulsar RX J0440.9+4431 Switched To the Super-Critical Regime of Accretion For the First Time... …and went back again. Literally all X-ray space observatories studied this outburst in 2023, and among them was Integral. The paper with the first results of the observations was sent to MNRAS and published on arXiv.org. The picture from the paper was selected as the June 2023 Picture of the Month of the Integral observatory. Mikhail Pavlinsky ART-XС Telescope Examines the Supernova in the Pinwheel Galaxy Supernova SN 2023ixf, which blasted on May 18 in the Pinwheel Galaxy M101, appeared to become more and more bright in X-rays even after its optical luminosity started to fade. The results of the observations were published in Astronomer's Telegram. A Strange Case of Carbon-13 Atmospheric Chemistry Suite, the Russian instrument onboard ExoMars TGO orbiter, found that carbon monoxide in Martian atmosphere yields less heavy carbon isotopes 13C than 'light" 12C. Results of the study have been recently published in Nature Astronomy. From Mare Fecunditatis to Oceanus Procellarum Russia and China mutually exchanged Moon samples, which had been delivered to the Earth by Luna-16 and Chang'e-5 missions. In Search For Hidden Carbon A new information system Uglerod-E developed at IKI will be used to monitor carbon ("uglerod" is Russian for "carbon") in the forests and other ecosystems.
