Mikhailo Lomonosov (or MVL-300) is an astronomical satellite of MSU named after Mikhail Lomonosov.^[3]

Mission

The objective of the mission is the observation of gamma-ray bursts, high-energy cosmic rays and transient phenomena in the Earth's upper atmosphere.^[3]

One of the instruments on board is the TUS (Tracking Ultraviolet Set Up) system, which is designed to measure fluorescence light radiated by EAS (Extensive Air Showers) of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR) in the earth atmosphere as well as for transients’ studies within UV-range.^[4]

For studying gamma-ray bursts Lomonosov has UFFO and BDRG instruments.
