- The (2 + 1) photoionization mass spectra of Xe-2 molecules are studied in a supersonic jet upon excitation by laser radiation in the energy range 80321.3-77821 cm(-1), corresponding to the dissociation of the Xe-2 molecule into atoms Xe(S-1(0)) + Xe*(6p, 5d). Several vibrational progressions are observed, which are attributed to two-photon transitions of Xe-2 from the ground state to the excited states of the 0(g)(+), 1(g), and 2(g) symmetries. Based on the analysis of these progressions, the molecular constants of a number of excited states of Xe? are estimated.

- The electronic spectra of ArXe molecules in the 80 300-89 500 cm(-1) region were recorded by (2 + n) and (3 + n) REMPI methods. The vibrational progressions attributed to transitions of molecules from the ground state to the bounded excited state and wide unstructured bands related to transitions to the continuous upper state were obtained. The molecular constants of ArXe* were calculated for all the observed progressions in the 80 300-87 000 cm(-1) region as an approximation of an anharmonic oscillator and the Morse potential. For different excited states the energy of harmonic oscillator and the dissociation energy are changed from 10 to 100 cm(-1) and from 70 to 750 cm(-1), respectively.

- The excited electronic states of ArXe molecules in the region 77 000-80 200 cm(-1) were studied using the (2+1) and (3+1) resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization methods. The use of different methods of multi-photon excitation and Ar+ ion registration allowed us to obtain some new data. Molecular constants were obtained for previously unknown excited states of molecules with the following dissociation limits: ArXe* -> (ArS0)-S-1+Xe*6p[5/2](3) with Omega = 2, 3 symmetry; (ArS0)-S-1+Xe*6p[3/2](2) with Omega = 1, 2 symmetry; (XeS1)-S-0 -> Xe*6s'[1/2](1)(0) with Omega = 0(+) symmetry.

- The electronic spectra of XeNe molecules in the range of 77100-90100 cm(-1) are measured by the method of laser resonance multiphoton ionization in a supersonic jet. The photoionization spectra are obtained upon two- and three-photon excitations of molecules and their ionization by the next photon. In the range of 80300-90100 cm(-1) near Xe*(5d, 6p', 6d, 7s, and 7p), the spectra are obtained for the first time. A whole number of vibrational systems are measured in this range. The majority of vibrational systems near Xe* (5d, 6d, 7p, and 7s) are located in the red range with respect to their dissociation limits. In the blue range with respect to the dissociation limits, continua corresponding to transitions of molecules from the ground state to repulsive potential curves of excited states are detected. For a number of excited states of XeNe molecules, the vibrational analysis is performed and molecular constants are estimated.

- Mini-EUSO is a high-sensitivity imaging telescope that observes the Earth from the ISS in the near ultraviolet band (290÷ 430 nm), through the nadir-facing, UV-transparent window in the Russian Zvezda module. The instrument, launched in 2019, has a field of view of 44∘, a spatial resolution on the Earth’s surface of 6.3 km and a temporal sampling rate of 2.5 microseconds. Thanks to its triggering and on-board processing, the telescope is capable of detecting UV emissions of cosmic, atmospheric, and terrestrial origin on different time scales, from a few microseconds up to tens of milliseconds. The optics is composed of two Fresnel lenses focusing light onto an array of 36 Hamamatsu Multi-Anode PhotoMultiplier Tubes, for a total of 2304 pixels. The telescope also contains two cameras in the near-infrared and visible, an 8-by-8 array of Silicon-PhotoMultipliers and a series of UV sensors to manage night-day transitions. The scientific objectives range from the observation of atmospheric phenomena [lightning, Transient Luminous Events (TLEs), ELVES], the study of meteoroids, the search of interstellar meteoroids and strange quark matter, mapping of the Earth’s nocturnal emissions in the ultraviolet range, and the search of cosmic rays with energy above 1021 eV. The instrument has been integrated and qualified in 2019, with the final tests in Baikonur prior to its launch. Operations involve periodic installation in the Zvezda module of the station with observations during the crew night time, with periodic downlink of data samples, with the full data being sent to the ground via pouches containing the data disks. Mission planning involves the selection of the optimal orbits to maximize the scientific return of the instrument. In this work, we will describe the various phases of construction, testing, and qualification prior to the launch and the in-flight operations of the instrument on board the ISS.
