Some notes on the "FAKERAT" software. ... In 1989/1990 D.W.Murphy (JPL) added the VSOP spacecraft constraints since they have a major impact of the science return from this missions. The program with the spacecraft constraints and several additional features was subsequently renamed fakesat. ... We continued these developments by creating a new branch of the software connected with RadioAstron mission; we call this version as "FAKERAT". ... Therefore, fakesat orbit block was completely replaced. ...

... We are developing arrays of antenna-coupled TES direct detectors of 1.0 – 0.2 mm waveband region with the final purpose to create a prototype of supersensitive arrays which can be used in imaging radiometers for future space missions. It is well known that the use of transition edge sensor (TES) bolometers at very low transition temperatures (~ 0.3 - 0.1 й) is one of the most promising ways to achieve appropriate sensitivity of radiometers for submillimeter astronomy. ...
