Roskosmos with reference to the NPO. Lavochkin Association reportedб that the Russian astrophysical laboratory Spektr-R, placed in orbit, is being further control check. Today is the second phase of the control tests on astrophysical laboratory Spektr-R, already installed complex Plasma-F, which is designed to study solar plasma, detector enable explicit testing of meteorites, as well as the activated two-way radio complex of laboratory Spektr-R , which is the first Russian automated astrophysical observatory. After the transfer of astrophysical laboratory Spektr-R in the normal mode, it is planned to study cosmic radio-emitting objects, conduct studies of black holes and dark matter. Astrophysical Laboratory Spektr-R represents a space radio telescope with an antenna diameter of 10 meters, located on the HEO orbit. Spektr-R will cooperate with ground complex, which includes four antenna. It is a collaboration of orbital and ground-based program Radioastron, will receive the image of radio emitting cosmic objects with a best resolution , than another astrophysical laboratories.
