... Our scientific interest is an accuracy of asteroid CCD observations obtained by amateurs and professional astronomers all over in the World. ... These data help us to analyse an accuracy of real CCD positions in the MPC Database. ... Do you test your observations of the small Solar System bodies permanently before sending them to the International Minor Planets' Center? ... Do you know a real accuracy of your positional CCD-observations in comparison with the other observatories' one ? ...

Note: you can click on a picture to see it enlarged ...you float into the ODS (Orbite Docking System) from Shuttle's airlock through tunnel extension ( also serves as EVA airlock ). The tunnel leads further to the Shuttle's back where Spacelab is placed. ... You move upwards.....and see a closed hatch. It's time to open it! Yet another closed hatch - but it's not the Shuttle's, it belongs to the Russian space station Mir. Open it - and you are in the Mir's docking module . ...

... We guess it's almost impossible to create the site nowadays where all space relative philatelic materials (postage stamps, stationary, postal marks etc.) would be registered and presented. ... We tried to make such a step in April 2005, placing at the site first images of postage stamps with portraits of astronauts (cosmonauts, spacionauts, taikonauts:). ... All illustrative material (or simply speaking, all scans of stamps) are grouped in four sections: Countries , Years , Astronauts and Flights . ...
