... Equations are obtained for the plane relative motion of the system on the taut thread (on the assumption that the centre of mass of the system moves along the Keplerian elliptic orbit). ... The torques of gravitational forces, aerodynamic pressure, aerodynamic friction and the aerogradient effect are taken into account. ... First, the problem is investigated in case of taut thread and Keplerian elliptic motion of the centre of mass. ... In a general case the free motion is bound to become connected....

... Low Polar Orbit . ... Different types of satellite orbits have different uses: while the synchronous orbit is best for communication satellites, Lagrangian point orbits help monitor the solar wind before it reaches Earth. ... Many spacecraft use such orbits, e.g. the US Air Force surveillance satellites of the DMSP series, or the series of French Earth-resources spacecraft SPOT . ... If the satellite then starts near a noon-midnight orbit, it will always pass near noon and near midnight. ...

... Electric field is a potential heat source for ionospheric particles (Rees, 1989). It is due to the fact that, under the action of an electric field, charged particles drift relative to one another and relative to neutral particles. ... This is called frictional heating. ... However, the effect of frictional/Joule heating of neutrals in the auroral electrojet region can lead to upward neutral wind in a region of high electron densities and strong electric fields (Winser et. al., ...

International Q-Days and D-Days ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Classification of Days (deduced from Kp indices) The selection of the quietest days (Q-days) and most disturbed days (D-days) of each month is deduced from the Kp indices on the basis of three criteria for each day: 1. ... In order to indicate such a situation, selected days which do not satisfy certain absolute criteria are marked as follows. ...

... We publish 16 Doppler imaging temperature maps for the years 1994-2002 of the active RS CVn star II Peg. ... Through Doppler imaging we want to study the spot evolution of the star and in particular compare this with previous results showing a cyclic spot behaviour and persistent active longitudes. ... The derived temperature maps are quite similar to the ones obtained earlier with a different methods, the main differences occurring in the spot latitudes and relative strength of the spot structures....

. This 3-D image clearly shows the spherical shape of Mars. (To see the 3-D effect, use a pair of left-eye red, right-eye blue color glasses.) Although Rosetta's direction relative to Mars was relatively constant during the approach, the surface view changed due to rotation. This made possible the production of an anaglyph, or stereoscopic image, by combining images taken by OSIRIS at different times. ESA
