We have designed the laboratory model of static Fourier spectrometer for onboard usage for spectral study of atmosphere and ionosphere. The gain of model is to simulate onboard FS which will not have any moving elements (all its optical elements will be mounted at fused quartz monolithic construction), to compare experimental results with theoretical estimations and to measure MTF of CCD array. ... This fact connected with low frequency response of CCD array due to small format of it. ...

... The metal abundance gradient in the disk of the Galaxy is found from stars with abundance determination from detailed analysis: d[Fe/H]/dR=(-0.05?0.01) kpc -1 . It is shown that the gradient can be explained by the fact that the disk is constituted of two metallicity groups of stars with an abundance jump between the groups. ...
