Maxim Tarasenko , a leading Russian space history scholar and a member of Space Policy?s editorial board, who contributed greatly to the elucidation of the Russian space programme in the journal and elsewhere, died in 1999. In order to commemorate his pioneering work in space policy, Elsevier Science has decided to hold an annual competition, open to all law school students and graduate students of space policy, to find the best essay. ...

... The CME was formed at a distance of 0.2 0.5 R from the Sun's surface as a U-shaped structure, which was observed both in the 171 њ A images and in white-light. ... When the CME passes from TESIS Fe 171 њ to A LASCO C2 field of view, we see complete correspondence between the bright structures on the TESIS and LASCO images (see Figure 4b,c). Since bright structures on LASCO images are density structure, then the CME on TESIS Fe 171 њ images is also a density structure. ... Figure 2. ...

... We publish 16 Doppler imaging temperature maps for the years 1994-2002 of the active RS CVn star II Peg. ... Through Doppler imaging we want to study the spot evolution of the star and in particular compare this with previous results showing a cyclic spot behaviour and persistent active longitudes. ... The derived temperature maps are quite similar to the ones obtained earlier with a different methods, the main differences occurring in the spot latitudes and relative strength of the spot structures....
