... In the course of the BURAN orbiter development, suborbital and orbital launches of BOR-4 and BOR-5 flight vehicles have been produced for aerodynamic analysis and working capacity of thermal protection structures verification. ... The flights of the SPIRAL prototype and BOR-4 and BOR-5 flying vehicles have allowed not only to speed up the BURAN orbiter development, but also to justify the choice of the aerodynamic scheme of the orbital stage of the advanced MAKS aerospace system. ... Buran Orbiter ....

... Dear teachers and guests of our site, if you are interested in the work of our teachers (foreign language teachers in particular) you may contact us through Internet. ... The teachers not only use computers for presentation of the new material, but also organize the system of checking students' knowledge. ... Every grade organizes a firm, chooses the activity, approves of the staff of the firm. ... The students also plan expenditure on scientific and research activities and advertisement. ...

... Under certain conditions, like those in the nucleus of a QSO, all atoms can be made to emit light at particular wavelengths. ... If that source is approaching the observer, the wave is squashed up onto itself making the wavelength shorter. ... This is redshift. ... You can see how the section of the QSO spectrum which we observe changes with redshift. ... We then see how far we had to slide the observed spectrum along the scale to make it match and that is the objects redshift. ... The 2QZ team . ...
