“…In order to achieve this goal ISS-CREAM will measure the energy and identify the elemental composition of incident cosmic-ray nuclei ranging from electrons and protons to heavier nuclei up to iron (1 ≤ Z ≤ 26). With an anticipated three-year exposure to cosmic rays on the ISS, we will address longstanding astrophysical questions: (1) What is the origin of the "knee" in the all-particle cosmicray spectrum? (2) Is a single mechanism responsible for the cosmic-ray energy spectrum?…”

The NUCLEON space observatory is a direct cosmic ray spectrometer designed to study cosmic ray nuclei with Z = 1−30 at energies 10 12 −10 15 eV. It was launched as an additional payload onboard the Russian Resource-P No. 2 satellite. In this work B/C, N/O and subFe/Fe ratios are presented. The experiment has worked for half of its expected time, so the data have preliminary status, but they already give clear indications of several astrophysical phenomena, which are briefly discussed in this paper.

“…The principles of operation, control, and monitoring would be taken from the NUCLEON scientific equipment as much as possible [5]. The basic characteristics of the NUCLEON-2 scientific equipment are a mass of no more than 330 kg, the device is placed in a cylindrical vessel with dimensions no more than D ~ 1500 H ~ 360 mm, no more than 27 thousand amplitude channels, and energy consumption no higher than 320 W.…”
