After pre-processing, the images obtained are posted   During ground-based preparations for MAI-75
               on a special website where they can be viewed,   experiment sessions, the MAI teachers and students,
               reviewed and processed by both educational program   in conjunction with experts from RSC Energia and
               participants and common users. Besides the MAI Data   FGUP TsNIIMash, led the development and testing
