The initial switch on of the Plasma-F

The initial switch on of the Plasma-F scientific complex was performed successfully.

The SSNI-2 System for Collection, Processing and Storage of Information was the first to be activated. Its main tasks are to collect, to store and to process the data provided by the scientific instruments. SSNI-2 also organizes data flow for the further transmission to the Earth, and receives and executes the commands sent from the ground-based control stations. It is planned, that the other instruments of the Plasma-F scientific complex will be activated on a step-by-step basis during the next one or two weeks.
