The exploration and examination of near-Earth space helps us better understand our solar system and deeply affects our everyday life in areas such as telecommunications, Earth observation, and weather forecasting. Toward that end, scientists developed the onboard data acquisition and control system of the Obstanovka (Russian for environment) experiment in the Russian segment of the International Space Station. Obstanovka, developed by nine teams from different countries, employs 11 sensors to study how the Sun, magnetosphere, and ionosphere influence Earth's weather.
