The report contains a short description of the first Soviet-Polish space experiment, which has been accomplished aboard the ‘Intercosmos-Kopernik 500’ satellite, launched to commemorate the 500 anniversary of Copernicus birth. The purpose of the experiment is to observe sporadic radio emissions generated in the coronal and interplanetary medium at hectometric wave-length range and to measure parameters of the ionospheric plasma by means of the low- and high-frequency impedance probes. The idea of the experiments is presented together with the brief description of the measuring equipment and data recorded. First results of the space observations are shown. The correlation between electron density of the ambient plasma, ion-sheath capacitance of the aerial, and the upper hybrid frequency can be seen.
