DDE Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 TIL that Roscocmos has a mascot of the Skif-D satellite https://t.me/skifenok Skif is the low-orbit Internet element of Sphera. But all I'm hearing when it's mentioned is Skif-DM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's notable how no-one in the Russian mainstream press cared to pick up on it. Rogozin's stardom has certainly passed. But he better lay low now, lest a certain bald condotiere would show up at his door asking for munitions... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tater Posted May 24, 2023 Author Share Posted May 24, 2023 Lower left, curly p is distance, curly p dot is... first derivative of distance (velocity). (someone who knows Russian can illuminate the use of curly p—maybe it's what I would use "r" for typically?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see that there are other Greek letters on the screen, psi and gamma for example. From wiki: Quote The radial coordinate is often denoted by r or ρ, and the angular coordinate by φ, θ, or t. So ρ here definitely comes from Greek convention about polar coordinates, otherwise they’d use Russian «р» and other Cyrillic letters everywhere else.

kerbiloid Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Indeed. Not less than 10 kg in total. And it's just for the first twenty years of ISS flying. ~50 Soyuz flights. ~100 g heavy toy (the "zero-g indicator", hanging above the midshipman man in the middle, so in case of ejection 0.1 * 20 = 2 kg) 50 * 0.1 = 5 kg, rounding = 10 kg. Alot of cargo, yes, very heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
