Abstract: The formation of strongly nonideal Coulomb systems of a large number ($\sim10^{4}$) of charged diamagnetic macroparticles in a cusp magnetic trap under microgravity conditions has been experimentally studied. The experiments have performed in the Russian segment of the International Space Station in the framework of the Coulomb Crystal experiment. Using the data of the videorecording of the positions of the particles in the magnetic trap, the magnetic susceptibility and charge of the particles have been estimated and the period of the oscillations of the cloud of the particles, as well as the damping rate of oscillations, has been determined.
