Abstract
On 15-th June 2006 from the Baikonur cosmodrom the satellite RESURS - DK1 was successfully launched. The international team of researchers performs the scientific investigations of cosmic rays in a wide energy range with the spectrometer PAMELA on board of this satellite. The Neutron Detector is a part of the PAMELA spectrometer. Its task is to separate the cascades of hadron and lepton origin. A brief description of the Neutron Detector construction and operation mode is presented. The preliminary data on the latitudinal dependence of the neutron fluxes are given and compared with results of calculations.
