Molniya Triplane Aircraft . At present NPO MOLNIYA is working not only in the space field but also on aircraft engineering. ... Considering this NPO MOLNIYA has chosen a "triplane" aerodynamic scheme stipulating in comparison with traditional schemes the essential increase of flying safety and fuel economy of its aircraft. The triplanes have advantages of canard and classical schemes, but are free from their faults. ... Molniya-1 . ... Heracles Triplane and Aerospace Systems . ...

The Database of Close Binary Systems . ... Team . ... This web-based interactive database is being developed and maintained by a team at the Sternberg Astronomical Institute of the Moscow State University . The project is an on-line extension of our catalogue on "Highly Evolved Close Binary Stars" (volumes I, II) published by Gordon and Breach in 1996. As of September 2009, the database (both the software and the content) is in its development/testing phase. ...

... During all period of our investigations Dr. N.Sumzina from the Institute of Applied Astronomy of RAS had prepared the Numbered Minor Planet positions from MPC Database for our processing with kind permission of the Director of Minor Planet Center Prof. Braian Marsden. ... Our extensive processing of the MPC data allows us to conclude that CCD observations of the Numbered and Unnumbered Minor Planets have the errors, sometimes very crude. ...

... I will touch upon the following points: ­ fast evolution of the sizes of quiescent (elliptical) galaxies between z = 2 and z = 1; ­ prolonged star formation histories of dwarf spheroidal galaxies in the Local Group; ­ apparent lack of external sources of cold gas accretion for the nearby spiral galaxies; ­ old stellar ages and magnesium overabundance of the large-scale disks of nearby lenticular galaxies. ... This discovery has challenged the recognized scenarios of elliptical galaxy evolution. ...

... Тhis new concept touches our simple lives, yet for those intrigued by the natural sciences, especially experts deeply engaged in the 'eternal' questions of general geology and astronomy, it is all the more fascinating. The problems to be faced by any theory for the formation of the Solar System . Any theory has to account for certain rather tricky facts about the Solar System. These are in addition to the obvious facts that the Sun is at the centre with the planets in orbit around it. ...
