Large KROT device is developed for modeling of space plasma physics phenomena and studies of interaction of super-strong electromagnetic radiation with plasmas. The core of the facility is pulsed RF plasma source with MW power level. Well repeated and highly uniform plasma, magnetized or not, can be produced in a volume of several tens of cubic meters. An overview of the facility operational parameters is presented along with the results of recent experiments.
