It is the first scientific module included in OS. SPC Energy developed it. Module Kvant was launched on March 31, 1987 by LV Proton-K from the launching pad Baikonur. At the launch the module consisted of two docked units: module Kvant itself and transportation and energy module (after docking with the OS was separated and sank in the Pacific Ocean). ... The original mix of the scientific equipment was aimed at the astrophysics investigations. ...

. I measured my limiting magnitude on this picture at about Mag 18.9. I also did some photometry near for the SN positon, and I found a star liked object at about Mag 17.6. I think this object is 1999br. This image is deconvoluted, but I measured the magnitude pre-deconvulution. Kereszty Zsolt . Hungary, Miskolc . Back to Bright Supernovae .

The Archeops experiment aimed at measuring the cosmic background emitted just after the Big Bang. The study of this radiation is essential to obtain precise information on the evolution of the Universe: density, Hubble constant, age of the Universe.. To achieve this goal, measurements have been done with devices cooled down at 100mK temperature placed at the focus of a warm telescope. ... 28960 visitors . ...
