The problem of energy calibration of astrophysical apparatus is essential for every or almost every space experiment. The utilization of synchrotron radiation from an electronic accelerator should perhaps be taken as an ideal solution of this problem, if of course, such a possibility is available.

Special equipment for the extraction of synchrotron radiation has been devised at the circular electron accelerator with a maximum electron energy of 6 GeV, in the Physics Institute of Erevan (Gurzadyan and Ohanesyan, 1972). The equipment is designed primarily for the energy calibration of astronomical apparatus operating in a vacuum and hard ultraviolet and X rays. However, the equipment can also be applied to a wide range of experiments relating to the physics of solids, crystallography, physics of thin films, X rays, etc.
