MOSCOW, April 1 – RIA Novosti State space. research and production center named after MV Khrunichev prepared and sent for examination preliminary design of rocket heavy class “Angara A5V”, which should send a spacecraft to orbit the moon in the second half of the 2020s, the newspaper “Izvestia”.

“Roskosmos” plans to use “the Angara “in the lunar mission, the newspaper said. For this four-start is performed. First, “Angara A5V” starts with the lunar lander and interorbital tug. The second launch into orbit shows another tug, he joined with landing the lunar module, after which they will go into lunar orbit. The third launch into orbit shows the main spacecraft with the crew and the last, the fourth – another interorbital tug for docking with the manned transport spacecraft.

“Preliminary design for” Angara A5V “was prepared in a timely manner -. At the end of 2015 and distributed to all relevant research institutes to harmonize scientific and technical board of the state corporation” Roscosmos “will consider it in the near future, after consulting the Research Institute”, – quotes the press service of “Roscosmos” edition.

According to the schedule drawn up “Roscosmos”, the first test flight of the “Angara A5V” will take place in 2026. The newspaper notes that this could push the launch a manned mission to the moon is closer to 2035 as it is necessary to hold a large number of start-ups and tests.

Supporting the Syrian army, the Russian aircraft has more than two thousand attacks on command posts, artillery and armored terrorists. In the frame of the target affects the antitank guided missile fired by helicopter Mi-28, which is also called “Night Hunter”.

While supporting the Syrian army, the Russian aircraft has more than two thousand attacks on command posts, artillery and armored terrorists. In the frame of the target affects the antitank guided missile fired by helicopter Mi-28, which is also called “Night Hunter”.

The attack on the Palmyra helped prepare our military advisers. Gunmen pulled for ten months a considerable force to the city, which is located in the central part of Syria and connected by roads with all the provinces and major oil and gas deposits. The main objective was to cut off escape routes

“All the disparate gang LIH escaped from the environment destroyed by Russian aircraft, not letting them go in the direction of Raqqa and Deir ez-Zor, -. The chief of the Main Operations Directorate of the General Staff Rudskoy C -. Return control of Syrian troops on Palmyra significantly impede implementation of armed gangs and rearrangements rendition of reserves between the northern and southern regions of Syria, and will significantly reduce the defensive capabilities gangs near the cities of Damascus and Aleppo “

Liberation. Palmyra is important not only from a military point of view. The city is also a priceless monument of ancient civilization. From the crews of our aerospace forces it took all their skill. Strikes were solely on identified targets of terrorists, and only with the use of precision-guided munitions. As a result, none of the historical object is not damaged, stressed in the Ministry of Defense

Scientists have proven the effect of chocolate on mood – REGNUM

Canberra, 31 March 2016, 13:17 – REGNUM Australian scientists from Swinburne University of Technology conducted a clinical trial, to find out the impact of chocolate on the human body, according to Journal of Psychopharmacology.

Researchers have tried to find out the effect of cocoa polyphenols on mood and cognitive function. Within thirty experiment involved 72 volunteers of both sexes aged 40 to 65 years. Every day, they were given a chocolate drink with a different (from 0 to 500 mg) content of polyphenols.

Improvements in cognitive function have been identified, but test the mood changed for the better. Those who daily drank a chocolate drink with 500 mg of polyphenols, experienced the feeling of tranquility and satisfaction with life.

The subjects themselves rated their mood on a specially designed scale before and after the experiment. It is worth noting that researchers recognize such data is not very reliable. Scientists admit that the subjects feel happier just because it offers a product that brings them pleasure.

Media: the owner is willing to become an investor S7 spaceport Sea Launch – RIA Novosti

MOSCOW, March 31 -. RIA Novosti The project Sea Launch ( “Sea Launch”) will soon get a new owner, wrote on Thursday the newspaper “Kommersant”

As. it became known publication, interest in the floating cosmodrome, based on Christmas island in the Pacific, expressed co-owner of S7 group (the airline “Siberia”) Vladislav Filev. The parties have already agreed on the parameters of the deal, which is estimated to be “billions of rubles”. Finally, it will be closed in May

On Wednesday, the head of Roscosmos, Igor Komarov said publication that the project “Sea Launch” supposedly found a buyer:. According to him, it is “close to the truth”, but the details have not yet disclosed. According to him, the purchase of this project interested investors from the US, Europe and China. “Roskosmos” for several years, trying to determine the fate of the project, in a difficult financial position. Problems of “Sea Launch” largely cost positions the previous CEO of “Energia” Vitaly Lopota, who in April 2014 the investigative authorities charged under h. 2 tablespoons. 201 of the Criminal Code (abuse of power).

In August 2014 the same company Sea Launch, carrying out launches of Ukrainian carrier rockets “Zenit-3SL” with the Odyssey platform in the Pacific, announced the suspension of its activities and the preservation of the cosmodrome . The reasons for this were several: the project’s debt load reached 500 million dollars, no stable commercial orders (delivered to Christmas Island, Kiribati government-owned, civilian satellites of Russia was too far, and the military – and even impossible regime of reasons). Complexities added rupture of industrial cooperation with Ukraine, which refused to supply produced at the “Pivdenmash” rocket “Zenit”

As the two top managers of enterprises of space industry told the newspaper, the parties have agreed on all the parameters of the transaction:. It is assumed that ” Energy “will sell the entire property complex without existing debt. According to them, the final deal will be closed in May, and up to this point the parties have to report on it, “the first persons of the state.” Opening the parameters of the deal were not the source publication, saying only that the investor will pay “billions of rubles”. Under S7 to comment on this subject on Wednesday declined.

After selling Sea Launch, “Roskosmos” and “Energy” will be able to put an end to the issue, to decide which side tried the last few years, and now will focus on the financial restructuring of Corporation. Benefit for Fileva less obvious: a total of 16 years (from 1999 to 2014-th) with the Odyssey platform has been launched in all 38 satellites (on average – a little more than two launches per year), the newspaper

Co-owner of S7 airlines Vladislav Filev showed interest in the project floating cosmodrome on Christmas island in the Pacific Ocean. He has already agreed a deal with the Russian Space Agency, announced the sale of the project “Sea Launch»

According to “Kommersant” newspaper, in recent months, interest in the project launch site in the Pacific expressed co-owner of the airline S7 Vladislav Filev. According to the newspaper, referring to the top managers of enterprises of space industry, co-owner of S7 and Roscosmos have agreed on all the parameters of the deal.

It is assumed that it will be closed in May, and the owner of the cosmodrome “Energy” to sell the entire property complex without existing debt.

Opening the parameters of the deal were not interlocutors of the newspaper, but noted that “the investor will pay billions of rubles.” Under S7 declined to comment.

The head of Roskosmos, Igor Komarov told reporters that the project “Sea Launch” sold, giving in this case called the investor and the amount of the contract.

Earlier on Wednesday, a source TASS in the space industry said that the project “Sea Launch” found a buyer and paperwork can be completed in the coming days. For information about the investor the spokesman refused to disclose, citing the agreement on trade secrets.

The international consortium “Sea Launch” was created in 1995 for commercial launch vehicles from the Pacific Ocean. After the reorganization in 2010, 95% of the shares of the consortium got the “daughter” RSC “Energy”, 3% – the American Boeing and 2% -. Norwegian Aker Solutions

In 2014, the project was shelved due to the events in Ukraine however, Russian authorities admitted defrosting project. In early 2015 it was reported that used in the “Sea Launch” Ukrainian rocket “Zenith” will replace the Russian “Angara».

Russian scientists have learned to “smooth out” the light to search for exoplanets – BBC News

Physicists at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT) and the Institute of Space Research Institute (IKI) developed optical technology “fix” the light coming from distant stars. The method will greatly improve the “vision” of telescopes and directly observe exoplanets, comparable in size to Earth, reports the press service of the MIPT

It should be reminded that the first exoplanets -. A planet outside our solar system – have been discovered in the late XX century . At the moment, they are more than two thousand (although not all of them yet confirmed).

But to see without special tools faint starlight reflected from the planets themselves is almost impossible, since his “overshadowing” the emitted light. For this reason, exoplanets detected by indirect methods. For example, fixing the weak periodic fluctuations in luminosity of the star during the passage of a planet in front of its disc (the transit method) or by defining translational oscillations of the star under the influence of gravity of the planet (the radial-velocity method).

Only in the late 2000s, astronomers for the first time we were able to directly receive images of exoplanets now known to them only 65. For these shootings used coronagraph, inside which there are “artificial moon”, which covers part of the field of view – the sun disk itself, allowing you to see the solar corona dim

. But there is a catch: in order to repeat it with a star from another system requires a much higher level of accuracy and much higher resolution of the telescope, on which the coronagraph

The apparent size of the closest to our planet like Earth is about. 0.1 arcsecond, which is close to the resolution limit of modern space telescopes. For example, the resolution of the space telescope “Hubble” is about 0.05 arcsecond

In ground-based telescopes, among other things, to remove the effects of atmospheric distortion, using adaptive optics -. Mirrors, capable of changing shape, adapting to state of the atmosphere. In some cases, the mirror shape can be maintained to within one nanometer. However, such systems have not kept pace with the dynamics of atmospheric changes and are extremely expensive.

a team led by Alexander tee, associate professor MIPT and head of the laboratory Planetary astronomy Space Research Institute, found a way to do a relatively simple and inexpensive systems of adaptive optics, while receiving the highest resolution.

Russian scientists used the idea of ​​significantly unbalanced interferometer (Extremely unbalanced interferometer, EUI). Conventional interferometry involves the addition of waves of approximately equal intensity to produce a clear and sharp image. The EUI light is divided into two beams (strong and weak), the amplitudes of which are approximately 1 to 10

Weak beam passes through the adaptive optics system, after which the two beams are brought together again and interfere with each other. As a result of the weak beam as it “smoothes” the light of the strong, which can significantly reduce the distortion of the wave front, reduce the contribution of speckle (random interference pattern).

“By using relatively simple optical circuit we can obtain necessary for the coronagraph . contrast of the image for the direct observation of earth-like planets of course, compared to foreign developments, our system requires more complex control systems, but at the same time it is much less dependent on the parameters of temperature stability that greatly simplifies its operation in space “, – says the brand.

With the help of computer simulations the scientists were established approximate characteristics of the developed system. According to calculations, the resulting scheme provides image contrast around 10-9. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that shows EUI achromatism – reducing aberration (errors) with increasing wavelength

Scientists plan to create a laboratory prototype and carry with them a number of experiments. As a brand says: “We want to see the distant worlds through a telescope, but it says that the far-off worlds, too, we can see a fairly small advance in technology, only 50 or 100 years to do it many times more accurate than today. available to us “.

Description of the idea of ​​Russian physicists have been published in the publication Journal of Astronomical Telescopes, Instruments, and Systems.

we add that recently, astronomers have discovered an exoplanet with the” eccentric “orbit.

Roskosmos promised to create a new launch vehicle “Phoenix” until 2025 – NEWSru.com

The head of Roskosmos, Igor Komarov has promised to create a new launch vehicle “Phoenix” middle class until 2025.

“The intention we have to do until 2025. We see that the market and the life of this demand that this project has accelerated “, – quotes Komarov RIA” Novosti “

according to him, until the end of the year the Federal Space Agency will report to the leadership of the state for this project.. This previously Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin suggested that “Phoenix” may be the first step for the developed superheavy rocket.

Commenting Facebook statement Komarova, Rogozin said that “Phoenix” – this development work, and all launch vehicles, beginning with the “Angara”, will carry the names of the great rivers of Siberia and the Far East. The upper stage, starting with the “Volga”, will be named after the rivers of the European part of Russia.

Earlier, reported , that work on the establishment of the missile system with the returned first stage postponed until the second half of 2020 ‘s, due to lack of funds. The relevant draft was carried out of the Federal Space Program for 2016-2025 years. Previously, a new project from the PCF due to lack of funds was a deleted the launch of manned spacecraft of the new series “Soyuz-MS” from the East, who had previously been planned for the end of 2019, and a number of projects. In addition, circled the moon, Russian cosmonauts, according to the new program, moved for the second half of the 2020s.

We add in the same day, the Federal Space Agency announced the creation of a manned transport complex of new generation ” in the complex manned spacecraft for missions to Earth orbit and beyond low Earth orbit “, and Igor Komarov hinted at selling the project” Sea Launch “. According to him, investors are interested in the acquisition of the US, Europe and China.

mammoth Yuka was the only one in the world with a mammoth preserved brain, and this unique discovery Yakutia added another one – second Tumatskaya dog. To study the puppy brain will make a special research program, which will deal with both domestic and foreign institutions.

«The finds of this kind of predators mammoth fauna are extremely rare and can be counted on the fingers of one hand. This greatly mummified remains of wolverine Berelekhskaya “cemetery” Mammoth (1970), two puppy dogs Tumatskoy (2011, 2015). And two lion (2015). They are found on the territory of Yakutia. Most of the world finds no Pleistocene carnivores that are saved from tip of nose to tip of tail, “- said Sergei Fedorov

It should be noted, well-preserved brain is removed from one of the two pups, known as Tumatskie dog.. The first was discovered in 2011 by local residents of the village of Ust-Yana Tumat area. The second puppy was found by field teams of the Museum of Mammoth NIIPES NEFU in August 2015.

As reported IA REGNUM , Tumatskomu puppy 12,400 years, and it has remained at least 70% of the brain. His discovery is evaluated as unique.

Media: “Roskosmos” will work on the lunar program at their own expense – RIA Novosti

MOSCOW, March 30 -. RIA Novosti Companies of the state corporation “Roscosmos” will continue to work on major projects to study Earth’s satellite program at their own expense, the newspaper “Izvestia”, citing the press service of the state corporation.

According to the newspaper, the decision was taken to after the approval of a new phase of the Federal space program (FCP), within which is scheduled manned mission to the Moon, “not to start the work from scratch, and use the stepping stone.” It is reported that this work will continue to build the lunar runway complex (LVPK) and heavy oxygen-hydrogen interorbital tug (MOB KVTK).

“Despite the fact that the development work on LVPK excluded from the final version FKP 2016-2025 period, the enterprise at their own expense are the elaboration of this project therefore, it does not mean that after the adoption of the following PCF work on the project will start from scratch “, -. the newspaper quoted the press service of the state corporation.

According to the press service, the experts are already elaborate different lander options, tug, power plant, following the adoption of the future PCF fully receive funding and implement the project in 2030.

Head of “Roscosmos “Igor Komarov said earlier that the implementation of the PCF in the years 2016-2025 will provide the groundwork for a full exploration of the Moon and landing by 2030 people on the Earth’s moon.

The Russian government at a meeting on March 17 approved a new PCF until 2025. In February, a new program after making all the necessary adjustments had been submitted to the government. The project was co-ordination in key ministries -. Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Economic Development

Initially, “Roscosmos” has prepared a version of the program involves the allocation of the budget of two trillion rubles. However, later, the PCF budget was sequestered to 1.4 trillion rubles. However, it is determined that in the case of improving the situation in the macro to the new RF PCF may be allocated even after 115 billion of extra goda 2021.
