Abstract: 
A series of on-board mass spectrometeres designed at the Special Research and Development Bureau of Institute for Low Temperature and Engineering of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (SRDB ILTPh&E) for the research of the Earth's and Venus's upper atmospheres and of molecular environment of spacecraft is described. We consider some peculiariries in the operation of the on-board mass-spectrometers, their basic analytical and technical characteristics, and some results of space experiments. The experiences on sounding the ionospheric D-region by meteorological MR-12 rocket at heights below 100 km and measuring the chemical composition of the layer under clouds in the Venusian atmosphere by the «Venera-9» and «Venera-10» modules landing is examined. The data obtained in the technological experiments on defining the composition and dynamics of the molecular environment of the «Cosmos» series satellites are analyzed.
Keywords: on-board mass-spectrometers, results of space experiments, «Cosmos» series satellites
