The research program of the International Space Station (ISS) includes the geophysical researches.
The scientific program includes the exploration of the ionospheric disturbances by OBSTANOVKA experiment (plasma waves) and SPRUT (energetical particles)  due to anthropogenic activities and  due to the natural geophysical effects. The altitude of the ISS (about 400 km) is near the maximum  of the ionospheric electron density (F-layer) at the ionosphere/magnetosphere interface. First result of the SPRUT-VI experiment onboard MIR station are presented. This work has been supported by grants Minmauki-Veter and INTAS 96-2064.
