Abstract
The NUCLEON experiment aims to study chemical composition and energy spectra of galactic cosmic rays for nuclei charges Z=1â30 and energies 1011â1015Â eV. The research is conducted with the help of the NUCLEON scientific equipment installed on the Russian satellite “Resurs-P” No. 2 as an additional payload. This article describes the results of the first year of the space experiment NUCLEON, including methodological features of data acquisition mode setup, evaluation of the equipment's performance and methods it provides, as well as preliminary results of data analysis.
