... In spite of the fact that the orbit assumes a zero gravity (the scientists count on it by growing super-clean crystals and other materials impossible on the earth), in fact, none spacecraft provides such conditions. ... This question is answered by the device developed by SSAU scientists - Micro-acceleration Compensation Space System (MCSS). ... Then, the computer will give commands to the magnets that compensate micro-accelerations. ... Tags: 'photon-m4' mcss . ... SAMARA STATE AEROSPACE UNIVERSITY...

DARK MATTER IN THE UNIVERSE Paul J. Green UNSEEN MASS: Astronomers studying the motions of stars and galaxies throughout the universe have long noticed a strange discrepancy. Stars move around galaxies as if pulled by ten times the matter that we can see. ... GRAVITATIONAL LENSING: Since dark matter by definition cannot be directly observed, several recent searches have instead exploited the predicted gravitational effects of its mass on the observed light from nearby stars. ...

The term "astronaut" derives from the Greek words meaning "space sailor," and refers to all who have been launched as crew members aboard NASA spacecraft bound for orbit and beyond. Since the inception of NASA's human space flight program, we have also maintained the term "astronaut" as the title for those selected to join the NASA corps of astronauts who make "space sailing" their career profession. ...

... We have made series of computer runs of the orbital evolution of asteroids for the 3/1 and 5/2 resonances with Jupiter using both the symplectic integrator RMVS3 [1] and the Bulirsh­Stoer method [2] (BULSTO). ... Besides the values of r hc presented in the Table at N = 144, for the 3/1 resonance at N = 24 we obtained r hc equal to 4.0, 1.7, 0.33, 0.4, and 0.7 at '' = 10 \Gamma8 , 10 \Gamma9 , d s = 3, 10, and 30 days, respectively. So in some cases a symplectic method can give large errors. ...

... The sky distribution of the BCGs from the HSS sample is shown in Fig. 6 together with BCGs from the SBS and Case surveys (Izotov et al. [ 1993b ]; Pustilnik et al. ... First, we compare the apparent magnitude distributions of the three samples. ... The similar behaviour of the faint end of the apparent magnitude distributions infers that the Northern BCG sample may have a similar completeness down to this limiting magnitude. ...

GRANAT is the Russian x-ray sattelite launched to the high apogee orbit (200,000 km) and operated almost for 10 years (1989 -1999) , carrying out four major instruments: French SIGMA coded-mask hard x-ray telescope (30-1000 keV), Soviet ART-P coded-mask telescope (2??-60?? keV), all-sky monitor WATCH (6-150 keV), and a gamma-burst detector PHEBUS . ...
