... 1980 . ... A three-stage version of China's CSS-X4 intercontinental ballistic missile is being developed for various space applications. ... The rocket - to be known as "Long March 3"- has four gimbal-mounted engines in the first stage developing a com?bined thrust of some 280 tonnes. ... Four small gimbal-mounted motors provide thrust-vector control. ... The third stage, which employs LO 2 /LH 2 propellants, has four gimbal-mounted thrust chambers. ... CHINESE ASTRONAUTS. ...

... The author attempts to approach the problem from the positions of systems analysis with account for the ideological grounds and history of space activities in Russia and abroad, comparing its current interpretation with the initial goals posed by leading theoreticians and practitioners who stood at the cradle of the space exploration era. ... The space systems recognized in Russia as priority projects are largely developed with violations of the systems approach principles. ...

... 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. ...

Lunar and Planetary Science XXXIV (2003) 1757.pdf PETROLOGY AND OXYGEN ISOTOPIC COMPOSITIONS OF ANOMALOUS ACHONDRITE NWA 011. ... In an attempt to resolve this issue, we have investigated mineral chemistry and oxygen isotopic compositions on portions of NWA 011. ... Figure 1. ... The results confirm the unusual oxygen isotope compositions of NWA 011 observed previously [2]. suggesting that post-crystallization processes did not significantly alter the original composition of NWA 011. ...
