The actual task space experiments in the ionosphere is the study of dynamic processes using diagnostic ELF-VLF emission, ensuring understanding of the circulation of matter in near-earth space and connection of the dynamic structure of the ionosphere with solar and magnetosphere activity, the morphological structure of the ionosphere wave fields and their interaction with the space and terrestrial sources. One of the important applied aspects of the research consists in carrying out diagnostics of the ionosphere manifestations of space weather. Traditionally, the main purpose of the creation of systems for monitoring space weather was warning about the possible impacts on spacecraft in orbit and ground facilities (e.g., power lines). An important yet insufficiently studied problem of the effect of space weather on the health and human performance. Another important aspect of practical relevance, is the study of the ionospheric response to powerful near-surface energy sources. The complex of such studies seems to be promising to search for the ionosphere precursors of anthropogenic and natural (such as earthquakes) events. You must include the scientific information in the global database of geo-information systems; the creation of a virtual observatory to study the dynamics of the ionosphere a wide range of scientists, teachers, students, and other interested persons; introduction of results in educational process, promotion of space research. The most informative are measurements of ionosphere parameters in situ using the run "inside the ionosphere" spacecrafts. Convenient platform for such observations, it would seem, can serve as the ISS with orbital altitude of about 350 km, but the high level of natural electromagnetic noise and strong aerodynamic effect of the ISS moduls on the surrounding environment make it difficult to record natural atmosphere and ionosphere variations. The paper discusses the results of studies and prospects for the use of the infrastructure of the Russian segment of the ISS for micro-satellite "Kolibri-2000" (2002). [1], "Chibis-M" (2012-2014) [2], "Chibis-AI" and "Trabant" (2020-2022) for the study of electromagnetic parameters of space weather.
