Description
The Gamma 400 project is being developed in order to build a space complex that includes a space observatory for high-energy gamma-ray research and provides the data for determining the nature of the "dark matter" in the Universe, as well as for developing a theory of the high-energy cosmic ray’s origin and the physics of elementary particles.
