BAD NEWS - Koronas-Foton is in Safe mode due to a problem with power supply
http://lenta.ru/news/2009/12/11/tesis/ GOOGLE TRANSLATE: http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=e...2F11%2Ftesis%2F I also have information that engineers are trying to restore power supply and turn on the scientific instruments, but these attempts aren't successful. |
