... Heracles Triplane and Aerospace Systems . The key characteristics of two-stage aerospace systems are determined according to speed and carrying capacity of the aircraft-carrier used . ... So the SPIRAL system hypersonic carrier was expected to launch the second stage by weight 63 tons at a speed corresponding to 6M; whereas launching weight of the MAKS system orbital stage with the use of the An-225 MRIYA heavy subsonic aircraft reaches 275 tons, and the HERACLES aircraft - 450 tons. ...

... Imaging GRIN Rod Lens (HAG's) | Relay Rod Lens (LAG's) | ... The Refractive Index Distributions (RID) in GRIN lens preforms are made by multi-stage optimized ion-exchange diffusion between silicate mineral glasses and salt melts. ... In the LAG lenses - L ow A perture GRIN the nature of the changing of refractive index in glass via ion-exchange lies mainly in molecular volume increase. ... LAG lenses are specially treated to create the dark anti-flick surface coating (Fig.2). ...
