Scientific paper

The planned Heavy Nucleus (HNC) experiment aboard the Space Station is discussed. The experiment will involve exposing an array of track-recording phosphate glass plates about 16 sq m in area for five yrs at an orbital inclination of 28.5 deg in order to measure the charge distribution of ultraheavy cosmic rays. The astrophysical goals of the experiment and the expected number of recorded events are discussed.
