Abstract
On July the 10(th), 1998 the telescope NINA was launched in space on board
the Russian satellite Resurs-01 n.4. The scientific task of the mission is
the study of the galactic, solar and anomalous components of the cosmic ray
s in the energy interval 10-200 MeV/n for contained particles. The core of
NINA is a segmented silicon detector mounted onto the satellite so to point
to the zenith.
In this paper we report about the cosmic ray measurements performed by the
telescope during its first 6 months of operation.
