      Science Two new low-frequency magnetic sensors, developed at the Research Radiophysical Institute of N.N. Lobachevsky University in Nizhny Novgorod, have been successfully launched into space. They became part of the scientific instruments on the "Ionosphere-M" satellites No. 3 and No. 4, which were launched into orbit on July 25 from the Vostochny Cosmodrome aboard the Soyuz-2.1b rocket, the university's press service reported.

      Now, there are four such devices in orbit studying processes occurring in Earth's ionosphere, developed at NNU.

      According to NIRFI Director Alexey Shindin, the increasing number of satellites has made it possible to conduct up to six joint experiments per month with the SURA stand, compared to two to three previously. Important data has already been obtained on how the ionosphere reacts to artificial influences.

      In August, a large-scale series of experiments began, involving not only the "Ionosphere-M" satellites but also scientific teams from Moscow, Irkutsk, and Kazan.

      The sensor development project has been ongoing since 2019 within the framework of the "Ionozond-2025" program. The first pair of devices was launched into orbit in 2024 and has undergone all tests. NNU’s development is characterized by high sensitivity: the sensors' intrinsic noise level is lower than Earth's natural background, making them particularly useful for geophysical research.

      The work is commissioned by the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

      It was previously reported that a Russian cancer vaccine will begin testing as early as September-October this year.
