Automated Calibration System
The Venus Express spacecraft of ESA investigates the atmosphere and clouds of the Venus at an unparalleled resolution and precisity. The ASPERA-4 (Analyser of Space Plasmas and Energetic Atoms) studies the interactions between the atmoshere of Venus and the solar wind, determines the effect of plasma processes to the atmosphere, the global distribution of plasma …
A Visit to the Mercury
Our engineers have finalized the electric model of power supply for the Plasma Ion Camera (PICAM) of ESAs BepiColombo mission. The mission was launched to Mercury in 2018. The PICAM is an ion mass spectrometer working as a full-sky camera of charged particles. It is used to study the sequence of processes by which the …
A Distributed Computer System on ISS
The main objective of the Plasma Wave Complex (PWC, its Russian name is Obstanovka) system is investigating the dynamic processes in the magnetosphere and in the ionosphere, to which a wide range of electromagnetic phenomena accompany, from a steady, long term observing place on board of the International Space Station (ISS). (Plasma Wave Complex, PWC, …

Investigating the Plasma Environment of Saturn and the Titan
The objective of the Cassini mission was to investigate the Saturn, its moons, and their pretty complex plasma environment and the planet itself. One of the main objectives was studying the Titan moon, which in many aspects is unparalleled within our solar system. Our group and the scientists and engineers of Wigner RCP PNI involved …

Earlier Intercosmos Soviet and Russian Project
Our group has developed the tracking and imaging systems for the VEGA mission. Their construction was doubly functionally redundant. For the first time in space exploration the tracking system has implemented a real-time autonomous control based on the imaging system. The primary objective of the mission was the investigation of the Halley comet.
