EARTH BENEFITS
Using Internet technologies and the ISS functioning on orbit, new educational technologies are
tested to popularize achievements in Russian manned space exploration and to use the results
of space investigations for educational and business purposes. One interesting methodological
result of the space investigations was obtained regarding proposals to use the results of
imagery taken on the ISS for educational purposes, such as in geography classes (Uragan
investigation materials). Interesting methodological materials were also obtained on
approaches to popularizing achievements in Russian science using Internet technologies and
using the results of space activities in the domestic economy.

Russian space exploration being accumulated during its implementation. An important result of
the investigation is providing opportunities to use space activities to many experts in various
fields, which subsequently, provides opportunities to obtain new ideas for the development of
space exploration and the use of spaceflight results based on questionnaires.
