April 19, 2021, saw the 50th anniversary of the launch in orbit of the world’s first orbital station Salyut, which in June 1971 became the first manned space laboratory. Further research on low Earth orbit was conducted in our country on board stations of the Salyut series and orbital complex Mir. This research focuses on the studies of Earth and the processes that take place on its surface. Experiments to study Earth and potentially hazardous and disastrous events that occur on its surface are also being carried out on board the Russian Segment (RS) of the International Space Station (ISS). The paper describes some aspects of conducting experiments that are specific to the ISS. It describes the scientific equipment of the Uragan space experiment that is being conducted on ISS RS and is designed to test the equipment and techniques for Earth observations from space. It provides the characteristics of the scientific equipment and considers some special aspects of its integration into the ISS RS. The involvement on the crew in conducting the experiments on board the station is discussed. The main results and plans for further activities to improve the efficiency of ISS RS Earth observation studies are highlighted.
Keywords: space experiment, scientific equipment, ISS, objects under observation
