Russia will launch a new spacecraft to study the Sun - Koronas-Foton (or Coronas-Photon). Launch is scheduled to occur on 29th of jan 2009. This is supposed to be the last launch of a Tsyklon rocket. Once launched Koronas-Photon will be placed into a cirtular orbit 500kms above the Earth. Orbital inclination - 82.5 deg. |

Cool indeed! The slewing adds an odd sort of immediacy. Wish I could read Russian to fully enjoy the site.
-------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

QUOTE (nprev @ Jul 23 2009, 11:52 PM)  Cool indeed! The slewing adds an odd sort of immediacy. Wish I could read Russian to fully enjoy the site. OK, I will try to help you (Russian is close to Bulgarian and I almost have no problems): http://www.tesis.lebedev.ru/info/tesis_20090723.php According to this publication the culmination of the Solar Eclipse occurred together with the strongest magnetic storm in the past 7 months. http://www.tesis.lebedev.ru/upload/files/kp_20090722.png The green color on the chart means normal magnetosphere, orange - excited magnetosphere, red color - magnetic storm. G1 is a very weak storm G2 - average storm, G3 - strong storm G4 - very strong storm G5 - extreme storm. So according to the chart the storm during the Solar eclipse is close to G2 = average storm. I'm also able to read: The storm was unexpected. The Sun is very calm now and there are no spots on the surface. In the last few days there were no coronal mass ejections detected. |
