That part of the FSP1 time interval, which corresponds to the magnetic conjugations of the any couple of the 4 considered spacecraft: INTERBALL TAIL PROBE, INTERBALL AURORAL PROBE (or MAGION 5), POLAR (NASA), and GEOTAIL (NASA, ISAS). The value of the relative geocentric angular distance between magnetic field line footprints is considered during FSP3 situation selection. The mentioned angular distance value less then 5 deg is used as a criterion of the FSP3 situation. ...

Next: The Stopping Radius in Up: ``Ecology'' of Magnetic Rotators Previous: The Environment of the . Now we consider qualitatively the effect of the electromagnetic field of a magnetic rotator on the accreting plasma. ... What is important is that both relativistic particles and magnetic dipole radiation will transfer their momentum and hence exert pressure on the accreting plasma. ... 2) The pressure of the accreting plasma is high enough to permit the plasma to enter the light cylinder . ...

The database contains references to the papers, data files and links to the Internet resources related to measurements and calculations of the optical constants in the wavelength interval from X-rays to radio domain. ... References to some useful books and reviews on the subject (e.g. the classical handbooks edited by E.D.Palik) and links to Internet collections of optical constants and personal WWW pages with related software were also placed in the database.

Lunar Orbiter 1 . ... The Lunar Orbiter 1 spacecraft was designed primarily to photograph smooth areas of the lunar surface for selection and verification of safe landing sites for the Surveyor and Apollo missions. ... The spacecraft was placed in a cislunar trajectory and injected into an elliptical lunar orbit for data acquisition. ... An 80-millimeter lens system was used to obtain Medium-Resolution (MR) photos, and a 610-millimeter lens system was used for High-Resolution (HR) photos. ...
