... It?s needs solution satellite?s orientation problem for defining location of sources of ionospheric emissions above Earth?s surface with necessary accuracy. There is possibility to define orientation of photometric devices by using TV images of star background. The CCD TV camera is designed for recording of images of star sky, Earth? limb and adjoining part of Earth? surface to fix the orbit point coordinates during the measurements by FAGOT and SICH-F devices. ...

... 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. ...

... For the first balloon flight of the Nuclear Compton Telescope (NCT) we have simultaneously reduced lowenergy background and enabled hard X-ray imaging by enshrouding the top of the instrument in a tin shield (bottom had BGO shielding), with part of the shield having strategically placed holes -- a 10% open coded aperture mask working up to 80 keV in conjunction with the finely pixellated double-sided Ge strip detectors. ... Key words: Compton telescope, coded mask, hard X-ray imaging, NCT. ...
