Calendar load of the IISR:
– in active modes – in total 2-3 months per year;
– in the passive mode of radio astronomy observations – the remaining time, throughout the year.

The list of rendered standard services:
1. Ensuring the conduct of cooperative scientific research using IISR equipment in the following areas:
– physics of the Sun;
– solar wind and interplanetary medium;
– physics of the magnetosphere;
– physics of the ionosphere and atmosphere;
– solar-terrestrial connections;
– propagation of radio waves;
– space weather and its impact on the functioning of complex ground and space-based technical systems;
– development of research methods and improvement of used equipment in the field of solar astrophysics and space geophysics;
– monitoring of the natural and man-made environment in near-Earth space, including dangerous situations in the space.
2. Carrying out joint initiative works with other divisions of the ISTP of the SB RAS and leading scientific centers of Russia.
3. Placement and maintenance of the equipment of interested users on the basis of IISR for joint research and development.

The procedure for calculating the cost of standard and non-standard services is established by an additional agreement between the parties.
