We have designed the laboratory model of static Fourier spectrometer for onboard usage for spectral study of atmosphere and ionosphere. The gain of model is to simulate onboard FS which will not have any moving elements (all its optical elements will be mounted at fused quartz monolithic construction), to compare experimental results with theoretical estimations and to measure MTF of CCD array. ... This fact connected with low frequency response of CCD array due to small format of it. ...

There are at least 3 ways that the age of the Universe can be estimated. ... The age of the oldest star clusters. The age of the oldest white dwarf stars. ... When a rock solidifies, the chemical elements often get separated into different crystalline grains in the rock. ... But if the elements are made continuously at a constant rate, then the mean age of stuff in the Solar System is (t o + t SS )/2 = 8-11 Gyr which we can solve for the age of the Universe giving t o = 11.5-17.5 Gyr . ...
