Abstract

The radiation-monitoring complex of the СПРУТ-VI system was installed on board the Mir orbital station and used to study the fine structure of the Earth's inner radiation belt in low and near-equatorial latitudes. The complex comprised a system of gas-discharge counters, as well as electron and proton spectrometers. The range of measured energies was 0.1–2.0 MeV for electrons and 0.1–10.0 MeV for protons. The possibility of changing the work program of the complex under spaceflight conditions was provided for.
