Among other instruments Meteor-M no.1 carries the heliogeophysical hardware package GGAK-M, which brings six a wide range of emission detection instruments to a single platform. These include SGMTD, MIP, DAS-4 and DAS-1 (2 differently directed instruments each). This creates a powerful system for detecting proton and electron fluxes in the near-Earth space.

1. The MSGI-MKA spectrometer is used to measure the following parameters:

• Differential energetic spectra of low-energy electrons (0.05 - 20.0 keV)
• Electron flux density with tuned out proton background in the tens of keV to several MeV range.
• Proton flux density with tuned out electron background in the hundreds of keV to hundreds of MeV range.

MSGI-MKA is built as a single block comprised of two identical units. At any moment only one unit is operating, while the second one is in cold stanby mode.

2. SKL-MKA is used to measure the following parameters:

• Electron flux density with tuned out proton background in the hundreds of keV to several MeV range.
• Proton flux density with tuned out electron background in the hundreds of keV to hundreds of MeV range.

SKL-MKA is built as a single block comprised of two identical units. At any moment only one unit is operating, while the second one is in cold stanby mode.

Z axis is directed from the center of the Earth to the satellite,
X axis is directed as tangential velocity vector
