Introduction: International cooperation in geophysics has long been vital for global coverage of observations and for effective data exchange. For magnetospheric and solar-terrestrial studies, the space agencies making up the Inter-Agency Consultative Group agreed to coordinate national efforts by forming an international fleet of spacecraft in mutually complementing orbits during 1995-2000. Now a new International Living With a Star program is being shaped for 2005-2012. This report describes current and future solar-terrestrial space missions of the Russian Federal Space Agency. We provide information on several missions that are at different stages of realization: CORONAS-F, CORONAS-PHOTON, INTERHELIOPROBE, RESONANCE. Also, as well as about space plasma experiments accompanying other national space missions SPECTR-R/PLASMA-F, Phobos-Grunt, and international missions with Russian participation, in particular, planetary missions. |
