Abstract
A report is given on the main results from the NUCLEON space experiment. The composition and spectrum of cosmic rays is measured in the range of 2 to 500 TeV. Spectra of particular nuclei, including nickel and secondary nuclei, are obtained. The dependence of the ratio between the fluxes of protons and helium nuclei on magnetic rigidity is investigated. A universal knee is found in the magnetic rigidity spectra of different nuclei.
