Study of dust plasma and plasma crystal in microgravitation conditions on the PK-apparatus on the ISS onboard

The results of investigations of dusty plasma and plasma crystals under microgravity conditions on the basis of PK-3 hardware onboard the ISS are discussed. The program of investigations of thermodynamic, dynamic characteristics of dusty plasma under microgravity condition was made. On the basis of ths program there is opportunity to observe formation of well-ordered structures in system. The comparison in the experimental data obtained under microgravity condition with results of simulations is made. (author)
