Abstract
We present the experimental results obtained with the SilEye2 apparatu s during one week test run at the Svedberg Laboratory, Sweden. These r esults will be used for energy calibration of the data collected on bo ard the MIR Space Station from fall 1997. Data that will be collected with SilEye2 are necessary to understand the phenomenon of optical lig ht flashes (LF) in cosmonauts' eyes during orbital flights and for inv estigation of the nuclear fluxes in cosmic rays.
