Essence of Space Exploration / by Luce, Zoe, author 648386

“…The Soviet space program achieved many of the first milestones, including the first living being in orbit in 1957, the first human spaceflight (Yuri Gagarin aboard Vostok 1) in 1961, the first spacewalk (by Aleksei Leonov) in 1965, the first automatic landing on another celestial body in 1966 , and the launch of the first space station (Salyut 1) in 1971 .…”

Collectors and confining beds in deposits of the Vend and Cambrian at the Predyenisey oil-and-gas area (the southeast of West Siberia) by Igor Viktorovich Tumashov, Irina Valerievna Varaksina

“…These results obtained by the detailed lithological studies of borehole cores (the Averinskaya-150; Vezdehodnaya-3,4; Vostok-1,3,4; Lemok-1) and generalization of the actual geological and geophysical information about the region. …”

CHEMICAL COMPOSITION CHANGE OF SUBSURFACE SNOW IN EAST ANTARCTICA WITH DISTANCE FROM THE COAST by L. P. Golobokova, T. V. Hodzher, Yu. A. Shibaev, V. A. Lipenkov, J.-R. Petit

“…The paper presents data on chemical composition of snow in theAntarcticasampled along the first tractor traverse during the 53th Russian Antarctic Expedition from Station Progress (the sea coast) to Station Vostok (1,276 kmfrom Progress). Specific features of horizontal and depth distribution of chemical components in snow revealed differences in conditions of formation of snow cover along the traverse in both spatial and time scales. …”

Dynamics of Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets using the borehole, radio sounding and space observations by A. N. Markov, D. Dahl-Jensen, V. M. Kotlyakov, V. N. Golubev, M. G. Leonov, V. V. Lukin

“…Using results of the long-term monitoring of the borehole coordinate axes at the Vostok station (down to 1920 m), east profile Vostok – Vostok 1 – Pionerskaya – Mirny (1409 km, down to the depth of 450 m), and analysis of radar sections, Russian specialists revealed the following: a) the Antarctic ice sheet has stratified changes in speed and a fan-like change in the flow direction along the depth; b) plastic firn layer has individual parameters of dynamics and actually flows down from more monolithic body of the ice sheet (the flow directions differ by 30–80°); c) in some places inside the sheet, the underlying ice masses flow faster than the upper ones. …”
