Description
Summary:	The aerospace education is the basic task of the Program (PSEMS’ 2002–2007) of the Scientific-Educational Micro-Satellite (SEMS) pursues solely humane objectives associated with directional evolution of interests of the students and extension of knowledge in a selected area through a wide use of practically received space information, the use of space and computer technologies. The main objective of the PSEMS is to introduce a new, highly efficient method of education for schoolchildren and students based on the development, launch of satellites and their use through school centre of reception of the telemetery information (SCRI), data receiving, processing and physical interpretation. Cosmonautics as a field of science and technology is a unique area of research and educational activity where interests of all branches of scientific knowledge cross. The PSEMS solves the tasks in three directions—educational, scientific, technical—and is based on sequential evolution of tasks—from a simple to a more complex one. The PSEMS is not commercial: it does not pursue deriving a profit. Money received from the PSEMS implementation will be invested to projects of new satellites, new research programs and development of logistics based on organizations involved in the activities.
