... Low Polar Orbit . ... Different types of satellite orbits have different uses: while the synchronous orbit is best for communication satellites, Lagrangian point orbits help monitor the solar wind before it reaches Earth. ... Many spacecraft use such orbits, e.g. the US Air Force surveillance satellites of the DMSP series, or the series of French Earth-resources spacecraft SPOT . ... If the satellite then starts near a noon-midnight orbit, it will always pass near noon and near midnight. ...

As a result, the core pmwiki.php script makes extensive use of PmWiki.Variables to determine how markup sequences will be processed and what each individual page will output. ...

... QSO spectra in the ROSAT band are steeper than the background at harder energies, and furthermore at fluxes below 1E-14 ergs/(s cmќ) the quasar source counts flatten off and are replaced by more numerous populations of relatively low red-shift objects, apparently Narrow Emission Line Galaxies (NELG). ... We extracted the luminosity function from ROSAT Deep Survey results, and extrapolated by a factor of 2 - 3 to account for changes expected in the harder XMM band. ...

... Moon . Planets . ... Earth Satellites . ... The majority of travellers venturing outside of our planet have viewed it only from low orbit as is the case for astronauts onboard the International Space Station (ISS). Only 24 men have viewed the Earth from outside low orbit as they journeyed to the Moon on the Apollo missions of the late 1960s and 1970s (nine missions, each with a crew of three went to the Moon but three astronauts, Lovell, Young and Cernan flew on two different Apollo missions). ...

LAUNCH COMPLEX . Considering the system reusability, great emphasis was placed on pre-launch processing facilities at both launch sites. To implement the Energia-Buran program, it was decided to develop a versatile complex "Stand-Start", modify and re-equip the launch site previously developed under the N1-L3 program, develop an Orbiter launch complex, and to foresee backup runways to be used for the Orbiter unplanned landing. ...

... The most important aspect of Copernicus' work is that it forever changed the place of man in the cosmos; no longer could man legitimately think his significance greater than his fellow creatures; with Copernicus' work, man could now take his place among that which exists all about him, and not of necessity take that premier position which had been assigned immodestly to him by the theologians. ...
