CONCLUSIONS The method of ERP prediction developed at SNIIM has been tested by comparison with the USNO results using 671 UT1 predictions for 2006­2011 and 423 PM predictions for 2009­2011. ...

FEATURES OF THE HYDROGEN DISTRIBUTION AROUND LUNAR CRATERS PROCLUS AND KEPLER. ... In result of analysis of the data Lawrence and Feldman constructed the hydrogen distribution on the lunar surface [1]. ... However, the authors shown, that EN flux data features may be explained by other element abundance in the lunar soils, namely: Si, Ca, Gadolinium (Gd), Samarium (Sm) and Fe. ... Using of the Feldman's interpretation of the Lunar Prospector data [8], we constructed hydrogen distribution map (Fig.1). ...

... They are concerned with Attitude Control System of the spacecraft, satellite visibility from tracking stations, limits on the satellite autonomous operations during the orbit, and needs for auxiliary operations with the spacecraft. ... Among the operational constraints the most important one is the number of programmed slews per orbit, which determines the maximum number of radio sources to be observed during one orbit. ...

Short-Period Comets: Origin and Terrestrial Impact Hazard . ... The model is consistent with the basic observed distributions of near-parabolic comets, short-period comets, Centaurs and high-eccentricity trans-Neptunian objects.This model requires that initial objects in the early Solar System are concentrated to the outer planetary region, and the physical lifetime of comets in the inner planetary region at the present epoch is an increasing function of initial perihelion distances. ...

... This year's eclipse is unique in duration. ... Although, at the present time, there are 6 solar observatories belonging to leading space agencies in orbit around the Earth, the eclipse of 22 July, 2009, will only be seen by two of them: the Russian CORONAS-PHOTON satellite equipped with TESIS telescopes and Japan's HINODE satellite fitted with an XRT space telescope. ... TESIS will be the first of the two devices (and the very first on Earth) to witness the solar eclipse. ...
