Scientists will discuss the effectiveness of mega-grants – Russian Newspaper

This number of world stars of Russia has not seen for a long time, said the director of the Department of Science and Technology of Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation Sergey Salihov commenting opening in St. Petersburg conference ” science of the future “.

Forum will be held in September, he has to summarize one of the most high-profile projects recently. It was initiated in 2010 was the government of the Russian Federation. It is about creating new laboratories in universities under the guidance of world-renowned scientists. Responded to the call of many celebrities, including three Nobel Prize winners. Of course, the role played by the value of the grant – 150 million rubles for each project. Amount is very decent even by Western standards. By the way, just for the program spent about 20 billion rubles. Emphasized that the first selection of the winners will not only Russian, but of recognized international experts.

It should be noted that the Russian scientific community reacted negatively to this initiative. Polls have shown that 76 percent are in favor to close the program, and the mega-grants sent to the Russian Foundation for Basic Research. Many believe that the invited masters attracted by the size of grants that they are working on two fronts, remaining to lead his laboratory abroad and spending in Russia for a few months that the obtained results for our money will have two addresses that mega-grants contribute to “brain drain” because the best employees after mega-grants can leave behind their leader. In short, a lot of controversy around the mega-grants.

Forum in St. Petersburg has to answer many questions. Here come some 800 scientists from 15 countries, including the USA, Germany, France, UK, etc. Speaking about the first results of the program, Sergei Salihov reported that just four years created about 160 new laboratories, they work almost 4,000 employees, more than half of the age does not exceed 35 years. With regard to one of the main criteria – publications in peer-reviewed journals, the figures are as follows: 2011 – 320 articles, 2012 – 665 2013 – 806.

According to the vice-rector of the St. Petersburg State University Alexei Zavarzina “paradise mega-grants of course, did not create, but work hand in hand with the leading scientists of the world has a positive effect on the college environment, attitudes toward science among young people is changing radically “.

The forum participants have to analyze what effect brought Russian science multimillion-dollar grants, as new laboratories remained in the program, and how much of it is derived for different reasons. And to answer the question: who are preparing the young people who participate in the mega-projects? If the economy is no demand for new development, the results in the end, go to the line. There also will be followed by the young Russian talent.

Help “RG”

In the mega-grants created in laboratories received a lot of world-class results. Thus, under the guidance of Professor Paolo Macchiarini at the Kuban Medical University conducted the world’s first transplant of artificial trachea and larynx part using patient’s own cells.

Kotlas pulp and paper mill implemented a system of continuous monitoring with the use of network technology for remote access and remote examination. The results were published in 95 papers, of which more than half – in foreign journals, including the highest ranking (Physical Review Letters, Scripta and Acta Materialia, etc.).

Arrived Japanese Professor Konstantin Agladze created in Moscow Fihtehe laboratory where it was possible to grow a human heart from stem cells.

In MUCTR. Mendeleev led by Alberto Maria Felice Paleari already producing glass microspheres for nuclear medicine, in particular, the treatment of cancer. It is planned that in 2015, the commercialization of the results will be at least 10 million. Rubles a year.

In St. Petersburg Academic University, Russian Academy of Sciences, led by Professor Pavel Pevzner algorithms for the recovery of the genome sequence to the DNA fragments. This is of particular interest for the study of cancer. Development laboratories are already used in the universities of Stanford and Harvard.

In the laboratory, St. Petersburg State University developed a fundamentally new boson cascade laser of about a millimeter. It will replace the bulky (about a meter) and expensive (about $ 50 thousand) lasers, which are made only in Switzerland.

This is just a small list of important projects carried out as part of the mega-projects .

Representatives of the Russian space industry continue to work towards the creation of new modules for the International Space Station. New projects are financed from the budget, respectively, it could mean that Russia will continue to work on the ISS, and after 2020.

Despite the voiced this spring application for withdrawal of the Russian largest international extraterrestrial project – International Space Station – after 2020, enterprise space industry continues to actively work on the creation of scientific innovations for the ISS. “Research and development of modules for it are carried out according to the contract,” – said Igor Burenkov, director of information policy of the United rocket-space corporation.

The press service of the Russian Space Agency explained that the is now working to create new modules for the ISS is really conducted as usual , in this case in the near future it is planned to make a decision whether to continue this activity, according to “Izvestia”. Now under development by the Russian space industry are three innovative module. This multi-purpose laboratory module (MLM), nodular and scientific power modules (BEP). Initially their launches to the ISS planned for 2013-2015, but then for various reasons, were transferred to the 2017-2018 years.

Due to unforeseen delays at the moment the situation is such that the Russia will be completed and equipped with its own segment of the ISS until the date on which it will need to flood . In fact, if Russia really leave the ISS in 2020, the Russian Space Agency experts will be in parallel to the work on the integration of the new equipment on the space station and prepare a plan for its rapid flooding.

“Our American partners have repeatedly said that they want to continue the activities ISS for the period after 2020. When they heard from our leaders that Russia wants to shut down the project in 2020, they stepped up their efforts with scientists began to cover them interesting proposals for papers that go beyond 2020, “- said the representative of the Russian Space Agency.

At the moment, Russia has not yet made a final decision on the future work on the station. “The question for Russia’s participation in the ISS after 2020 remains open, but with a probability of 90% the country’s leadership to agree to participate in the project and on” , – said the representative of the Russian Space Agency.

The experts identified two preliminary versions of the reasons unsuccessful launch of a Russian rocket with European satellite “Galileo”: either there was some anomaly in the functioning of the apparatus, or the failure of the orientation sensors booster. Russian upper stage “Fregat-MT” could not bring in the desired orbit of European satellites. Missile boosters “Soyuz-ST” from Kourou suspended.

Experts believe that in the determination of the causes of unsuccessful start-up may take more than one day. But to put this accident in line with previous unsuccessful launch is not necessary, I’m sure vice -President “Ingosstrakh” the deputy head of the insurance space and aviation risks Alexander Podchufarov.

Russia can continue to work on the ISS, and after 2020.

Despite the fact that the Russian side planned after 2020 to proceed with the other, more advanced, space programs, the likelihood of continued participation in the ISS project is 90%.

It is reported by the representative of the Russian Space Agency. In addition, Russia will continue to produce new modules for the space station in accordance with the same work schedule.

We recall that the decision to terminate the cooperation in the space sector was due to sanctions imposed against Russia, the EU and the United States. Then, NASA was in favor of the termination of the joint work with Russia, but for the ISS was the exception, as in this project is interested in the first place the American side. In response to that, Dmitry Rogozin, Russian Deputy Prime Minister, said that after 2020 Russia will interrupt the participation in the ISS project.

With 2020 already planned to begin testing the robot. ISS already working robots with the United States, Japan and Europe. The robot is controlled by a man dressed in a special suit that helps the robot to copy human movement.

«The closest analogue to the development of the Russian SAR-401 is created by NASA and General Motors anthropomorphic manipulator torsovyh Robonaut. Of course, the basis for both development laid the same principle – humanoid. The difference lies in its embodiment. The first SAR-401 differs solution kinematic scheme, which makes it more acceptable weight and size specifications: weight – 40 kg; Height – 820 mm; scope of manipulators – 2050 mm, “- said the representative of the NGO” android Appliances »Oksana Zakharova.

Missile launches “Soyuz-ST” from Kourou suspended until troubleshooting – RBC

RBC 08.24.2014, Moscow 06:34:24 Launches Russian carrier rockets “Soyuz-ST” from Kourou (French Guiana, South America) suspended until troubleshooting which actually led to the loss of the two European satellite company said Arianespace.

The Rise and the first part of the flight “Soyuz-ST” satellites on board were held August 22 in the normal mode, but after separation of the satellites revealed that they have not entered the preset orbit.

Both sides booster “Fregat”, which for some reason have not coped with the task entrusted to them, and both satellites are in a stable position and does not pose a risk to fall on the people.

On Monday, Arianespace, the European Space Agency and the European Commission will start an independent investigation into the incident for ascertaining its causes. Appropriate conclusions should lead to the development of corrective actions that will enable fast resume launches “Soyuz” from the Guiana Space Center, while ensuring complete safety.

The satellites were launched in the framework of the EU satellite navigation system and the European Space Agency Galileo (Galileo), which is designed to solve the geodetic and navigation tasks.

Roscosmos will send into orbit “cleaner» – BFM.Ru

The device will be removed from orbit served their satellites and boosters

The Russian Space Agency is developing a machine to clean the geostationary orbit debris. This was reported by “Izvestia».

It is expected that work on the creation of “liquidators” such is the business name of the space, “cleaner” – will cost 10.8 billion rubles. Design should begin in 2018, and by 2025 the machine should be ready to start. Parameters of the device contained in the draft Federal Space Program: weight maintenance unit – 4 tons, lifetime – 10 years in the implementation of at least 20 cycles of removal, the number of consecutive deleted boosters and spacecraft in the same cycle – 10 pieces, removing the cycle – to 6 months.

The problem of space debris is particularly relevant in the geostationary orbit, located at an altitude of 36,000 kilometers above the sea level around the equator. GSO satellites operate communications and broadcasting, it is the most commercially in demand. Space cleaner can either push the collected debris into a higher orbit, where it does not hurt anyone, or to flood it in the so-called graveyard of spaceships in the Pacific Ocean near Christmas Island.

Among the possible development machine Office calls RSC “Energia”, Khrunichev, Lavochkin, ISS Reshetnev. The problem itself is considered to be highly complex. Most likely it will be the executor of the company, which has extensive experience in rendezvous and docking in orbit.

According to the American agencies US Space Surveillance Network, now in low Earth orbit rotates 16.2 thousand objects, collision which could lead to the elimination of spacecraft. Additional difficulty in cleaning the debris is that when you try to eliminate it can form fragments, each of which would constitute a threat to operational spacecraft.

On the eve of the Russian Space Agency experts said the launch of the Russian carrier rocket “Soyuz -ST B “from Kourou in French Guiana. Rocket into orbit two European navigation satellites Galileo FOC.

the first American scientists have found microbes beneath the ice Antarctic lake. Bacterial community pond existed in complete isolation, hundreds of thousands of years.

This is stated in the article from the University of Montana,
 published in the latest issue of the journal Nature.

Bacterial RNA was isolated from the samples, scientists,
 
 taken from the subglacial lake Uillans in January 2013. This lake,
 Located 650 kilometers from the South Pole, hidden under a 800-meter layer
 ice, its depth is only 1.5 meters. Experts have all
 possible, so as not to contaminate the sample with modern bacteria.

Most microorganisms identified in lake water, refer to the Archean,
 a special group that is different from the rest of the bacteria. The most abundant of these
 representatives Nitrotoga arctica, constituting 13% of the lake microbes. They
 live at the expense of nitrification - the oxidation of ammonia, which is rich in
 lake.

In one milliliter of water contains Uillans about 130,000 bacteria of
 They have both sticks and cocci. Organic and mineral substances, by
 microorganisms which live in the lake, there were about a million years ago -
 that's when the last time it was contacted with the surface.

Earlier, Russian scientists have already made it to the subglacial Lake Vostok, however,
 Unlike their American counterparts, they were not able to get water from it. In the hands of our
 compatriots hit the ice of the frozen on the storm that affected the results

Identify any device unreal – he argues. – It is necessary to cancel the decision. In its current form, it will require a lot of explanations and other documents, but it still will not work.
