... For reliable estimation of the accuracy of asteroid CCD observations we usually consider from ten or more various NUMBERED MINOR PLANETS (NMPs) observed during several nigths per month (more then 50 positions). ... They can be considered as an indicator of accuracy of the CCD positional observations with given MPC code. ... For any NUMBERED minor planet the (O-C) values must be zero if the errors of observations and the errors of its theory are absent. ...

... Ballistics, navigation and flight control of the spacecraft, going to the L2 point of Sun-Earth system. ... and calculation algorithms have been developed: - an algorithm, building nominal trajectories for one impulse flights to the L2 point of Sun- Earth system, including a Moon swingby maneuver or not. - an algorithm, calculating corrections of spacecraft trajectory needed for the flight from Earth to halo orbit and for stationkeeping of the spacecraft moving in halo ...

... Active Skepsis . ... Probably, one should know the results from any actions. ... As a result, a sceptic, who discredits, for example, the tales of Christian wonders, has to follow the practical recommendations of Christianity or any other belief knowing how to act. ... As a result, scepticism restricts itself with discrediting secondary wonders, permanently replacing one doubtful interpretation with another and telling nothing of life and action. ... Yuri Tikhonravov, Ph.D. Translated from Russian ....

. Comment on J1130-1449 . There are two dominant components in our image. Comparison with the 15 GHz image of Kellermann et al. (1998) reveals that the western component is brighter at the higher frequency, indicating that the brighter (eastern) component in our image may have a steep spectrum. VLBApls home page .
