"Constellation-270" - Summer Achievements

The "Constellation-270" project provides an opportunity for young researchers to engage in the exploration of advanced tasks in space activities.

Satellite systems that continuously transmit information facilitate the ongoing updating of databases containing information on gamma-ray bursts and solar flares. In particular, several significant cosmic gamma-ray bursts and solar flares were registered in July, highlighting the activity in the solar-cosmic environment. The summer period marked the beginning of efforts to publish such catalogs on the website of the Operational Space Monitoring Center of the Skobeltsyn Institute of Nuclear Physics at Moscow State University.

Additionally, active work continued on the search and identification of registered gamma-ray bursts in conjunction with optical transients captured by the network of robotic telescopes MASTER. This approach opens new horizons for the analysis of cosmic phenomena and a deeper understanding of the mechanisms underlying them.

During the summer session of the "Big Challenges" a model representing one-fourth of the area of the prospective detector was successfully built and calibrated. Using this model, a series of measurements were conducted, the results of which confirmed the feasibility of the proposed architecture for both the detector and the electronics intended for the flight gamma spectrometer.

Furthermore, software designed for decoding and visualizing monitoring data received from instruments during orbit experiments was developed and optimized. This software ensures efficient analysis of the collected information, allowing real-time processing and interpretation of the data obtained. Thus, the progress achieved not only underscores the high degree of readiness of the project but also opens new prospects for further research in the field of space science.

The satellites of the Moscow University "Constellation-270" systematically conduct monitoring of particle fluxes, representing an important aspect of studying what is known as space weather. The data obtained during these monitoring measurements is published in near real-time on the website of the Space Monitoring Data Center SINP MSU, dedicated to space weather.

This initiative allows for the identification and analysis of changes in the Earth's spatial environment, significantly contributing to the formation of a comprehensive understanding of the processes occurring in near-Earth space. Thus, the work of the "Constellation-270" satellite grouping makes a significant contribution to the study of space weather and its impact on terrestrial and space systems.
