The microgravitational space platform "Foton-M" is intended
for realization of experiments in the field of a space process engineering,
manufacture of materials and biological preparations in interests of different
industries and sciences, and also implementation of international cooperating
on the commercial basis. Attempt of the first start of space vehicle "Foton-M"
(October, 15, 2002 at 21.20 DMT) from a space port "Plesetsk"
was the unsuccessful launcher because of emergency of rocket "Soyuz".
The information placed on a site under this project,
is saved as a tribute and thanks to participants of the project "Foton-M"
N1 and may be used for organization, planning and implementation of consequent
missions "Foton-M".
