Аннотация:The beginning of energetic particles and space plasma research with the launching of the first satellites brought the necessity of educating specialists in this field. In Moscow State University such specialists are educated in the Cosmic Rays and Space Physics Group. For students who intend to participate in satellite experiments this education includes a Space Plasma lecture course. This course includes the of main space plasma problems such as theoretical approaches to plasma description (single particle, fluid and kinetic approximations, plasma waves and instabilities, weak and strong turbulence, solitons and shock waves, etc.) and the main aspects of solar atmosphere physics, solar wind, magnetosphere and ionosphere of the Earth. The main goal of the education process is to prepare a student for independent scientific research which generally begins in the sixth semester. In most cases the student's diploma work is followed by a publication in one of the space journals. The main problems of increasing the quality of the education are analyzed.
