Space experiment with number of instruments on board small satellite is elaborating now together by M.V. Lomonosov State University and Aserbaijdshan National Aviation Academy Terrestrial Gamma Ray Flashes (TGF) and magnetosphere electron flux dynamics will be studied during this mission. The near-Earth’s orbit with relatively low altitudes (500–8000 km) provide the favourable conditions for the study of space radiation in different areas of the near-Erath space including as trapped radiation as electron precipitation from the radiation belts. These goals involve the elaboration of a general scientific concept of satellite experiment, determination of optimal orbits and orientation of spacecraft, determination of parameters and technical appearance of measuring instruments (spectrometers of energetic protons and electrons), requirements for satellite platform, orientation system, data transmission, ground data processing center, mathematical modeling of the experiment. The measurement data, which are planned to be obtained during this experiment, will be subsequently used for the studying of the processes of acceleration and loss of trapped and quasi-trapped energetic charged particles in the Earth's magnetosphere, validation of existing and development of new dynamic models of Earth's radiation belts, study of TGFs.
