This was told at the Cosmonaut Training Center.

“Now at the ISS, Alexander Skvortsov and Oleg Skrypochka have begun to carry out a new experiment,“ Terminator, ”which will be continued by Nikolai Tikhonov and Andrei Babkin,” the center said.

The astronauts said that this experiment "will provide an opportunity to study the upper atmosphere and the phenomena occurring there."

According to astronauts, according to the latest data, "the number of various formations and formations of silvery clouds in different parts of the upper atmosphere is really increasing."

“The vast areas and significant lifetime of such cloudy fields provide a unique opportunity for the direct determination of the parameters of atmospheric waves of various types and their development,” they added.

Earlier it was reported that the Russian anthropomorphic robot-cosmonaut, who should replace FEDOR, will perform dangerous work on board the ISS instead of the crew.
