MVL 300 (Mikhailo V Lomonosov, an 18th century Russian scientist and writer) is a multipurpose spacecraft that weighs more than 1,400 pounds (about 645 kilograms) designed to investigate Earth, attempting to pinpoint the origin of mysterious brilliant flashes of light in the upper atmosphere called transient luminous events. The spacecraft will study high-energy cosmic rays and gamma-ray bursts, the most powerful explosions in the universe, which astronomers believe come from the collapse of massive stars at the end of their lives. The Mikhailo Lomonosov satellite is designed for a three-year lifetime in orbit.
