News40th COSPAR Scientific Assembly successfully finished its work at MSU The 40th Scientific Assembly of the International Committee on Space Research (COSPAR) went over at MSU with great success is closed now. 2274 scientists from 74 countries took part in it. Over 2000 oral presentations and 7 interdisciplinary lectures were made. The Local Organizing Committee organized two public lectures - by MSU Rector, Academician Viktor Sadovnichy and RAS President, Academician Vladimir Fortov. Several press-conferences were held during the Assembly. Transient fluorescence of the Earth's atmosphere was detected by the scientific equipment "RELEC" "Currently all the instruments of the "RELEC" scientific complex are switched on in testing mode. Our objective is to make sure that they are operated correctly. <...> The first transients are "catched". We see that the instruments are operated in a proper way," - SINP Director and the Head of the "RELEC" project, Professor Mikhail Panasyuk told us during the press-conference on July 8, organized within the frames of COSPAR Assembly. SINP Director and NASA representative signed Russian-American Protocol Director of D.V. SKobeltsyn Institute of Nuclear Physics MSU Mikhail Panasyuk and NASA representative Edward Simone have signed Russian-American protocol "Radiation safety and risk analysis near the Moon surface". The meeting of the scientists of SINP, Joint Institute of Nuclear Research, Institute of Medical and Biological Problems RAS, IZMIRAN, representatives of Roskosmos, TSHIImash and NASA (Lindon Johnson Space Center, Langley scientific and research center) took place in SINP MSU on July 30-31, 2014. The first gigabyte of scientific information from the "RELEC" instrument On August 5 over 1 GByte of scientific information is already received from the "RELEC" instrument. Sergey Krasnopeev, the engineer of the Control mission center of NILSKT DOSAAF in Kaluga told us about it. First information is obtained from the "RELEC" instrument A meeting, where the first data obtained from the "RELEC" instrument was discussed took place in SINP MSU on July 28 and 29. The scientists and engineers from the Lavochkin Scientific and Production Association, Space Research Institute, Control mission Center of NILAKT DOSAAF (Kaluga), Hungarian, Polish, Korean and American universities and scientific centers took part in it. The satellites were launched in Moscow region At the beginning of June the satellites were launched in Moscow region. It was not an ordinary launching - the Third championship "CanSat in Russia" took place there. The name of these satellites is originated from "Can" and "Satellite", because the satellite can be placed into the soda water can. The idea of such satellites came from the USA, and the SINP scientists have catched it up and adopted. A presentation about the spacecrafts launching took place in SINP MSU A presentation of the launching of scientific spacecrafts - meteorological satellite "Meteor-M" N2 and six small spacecrafts including MKA-FKI N2 "RELEC" - took place in SINP MSU on the date of their launching, July 8. Professor Lennard Fisk elected President of Committee on Space Research Professor Lennard Fisk, from University of Michigan, USA, was elected president of Committee on Space Research (COSPAR) during COSPAR 40th Scientific Assembly. Professor Mikhail Panasyuk, director of Skobeltsyn Institute for Nuclear Physics (Lomonosov Moscow State University, Russia), was elected a member of COSPAR Bureau. Simulation software was developed to assess the sustainability of microelectronics in the spacecraft to radiation effects of cosmic radiation Simulation software was developed to assess the sustainability of microelectronics in the spacecraft to space radiation. This will be reported in the talk given by Nikolai Chechenin, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor, Head of Division of Atomic and Nuclear Physics at D.V. Skobeltsyn Institute of Nuclear Physics of M.V. Lomonosov Moscow State University (SINP MSU). The developed series of models describes the real phenomena in the Earth’s magnetosphere Series of models that adequately describe both real processes in thin current sheets in the Earth’s magnetosphere and their properties is proposed. The obtained modelling results are not only confirmed by satellite observations, but can also predict them. Corresponding reports will be done on 40-th Scientific Assembly of the International Committee for space research (COSPAR) by Helmi Malova, doctor of physical and mathematical sciences, senior research scientist of the Scobeltsyn Institute of Nuclear physics of Lomonosov Moscow State University (NPI MSU) and leading research scientist of Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IKI RAS). |
