Ground Support of RadioAstron . Control and Tracking Stations . RadioAstron satellite control (command transmission, telemetry, orbit measurements) will be conducted from Evpatoria and Bear Lake control stations. ... Coarse orbit measurements will be carried out from control stations. Each measurement takes ten minutes. ... Orbit measurements at tracking stations give only radial component of spacecraft velocity but the measurements are going continuously during observing sessions. ...

... The basic idea of Fixed Azimuth Drift Mapping is to p osition the telescop e at a particular azimuth and zenith angle, with ALFA rotated to a particular angle, so that a source of given RA and Decl will transit exactly through Beam 0 at a predetermined time, yielding an ALFA b eam configuration giving b eams equally spaced in declination. ... It is very imp ortant that observers understand the intention and function of the fixed azimuth drift mo de and its asso ciated widget. ...

... The choice of the spectrograph design (Fig.2) is determined by the quantity R, the overall dimensions of the PF cage and the restrictions on the rigidity of the structure of the device. ... As the camera's objective a fast 4-lens aplanat is used having a focal distance F cam =140 mm and a relative aperture of 1:1.8, the resolution at the centre is no less than 80 gr/mm, that over the field at a distance of 3 mm from the edge along the frame ( ) diagonal is 35 gr/mm. ...

ARCSAT ID NUMBER: AS10 DESCRIPTIVE TITLE: A New Filter to Study Stellar Populations. ... BRIEF SCIENCE JUSTIFICATION: We propose to use a newly designed filter (named W: 845-880-nm) to measure the [ЮБ/Fe] ratio in red giants and trace the chemical evolution of stars in the Milky Wayт??s globular clusters, halo and Local Group galaxies. ... We will use the newly-acquired 2т??x2т?? filter from Manastash Ridge Observatory to start observing globular clusters. ...

... It includes level converters and a optional radio modem designed to decode the radio timecode signals transmitted by the Canadian time and frequency station CHU. A complete set of schematics, PCB artwork, drill templates is in the pub/ntp/gadget.tar.Z file on ftp.udel.edu. ... One of these converts a TTL positive edge into a fixed- width pulse at EIA levels and is for use with a timecode receiver or oscillator including a TTL PPS output. ... See the schematic diagram gadget.s01 for reference. ...

The "ring of fire" seen by satellite cameras around the polar caps (picture below) is probably created by electrons leaking from the tail's plasma sheet, whose magnetic field lines form a somewhat imperfect trap. ... One possible explanation involves the close association between auroral arcs and electric currents which flow along field lines between the ionosphere and distant space ( Birkeland currents ). ... That produces an extra resistance to the flow of current. ...
