Nobel Prize for Physics 1970
Nobel Prize for Physics 1970 The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has awarded the 1970 Nobel Prize jointly to two European physicists: to H. Alfvén for his establishment of the fundamental principles of magnetohydrodynamics which decisively influenced the development of plasma physics, and to L. Néel for his research and funda mental discoveries regarding antiferromagnetism and ferrimagnetism, which have important applications in the physics of solids.

This document is a comprehensive guide to be provided to students in a physical science teaching methods course. Chapters include: (1) "Science as a Focus" (rationales, teacher as decision maker, trends and progress); (2) "Determining What Will Be Taught" (planning and objectives); (3) "Taxonomics and Teaching Science"; (4) "Questions and Teaching Science"; (:) "Using Science-Related Discussions"; (6) "Using the Real Stuff of Science: Inquiry"; (7) "Classroom Management"; (8) "Simulations and Games in Science Teaching"; (9) "Science Safety"; and (10) "Evaluating Students and Elementary Science Programs." Each chapter concludes with a list of references. An outline of the methods course content is appended.

Space Activities 2017
Space Activities in 2017 Jonathan McDowell [email protected] 2018 Jan 15 (rev 2) Preface In this paper I present some statistics characterizing astronautical activity in calendar year 2017. In the 2014 edition of this review, I described my methodological approach and some issues of definitional ambguity; that discussion is not repeated here, and it is assumed that the reader has consulted the earlier document, available at http://planet4589.org/space/papers/space14.pdf (This paper may be found as space17.pdf at the same location). In rev 2, I have adjusted the payload mass figures in Table 5 (see note 2 to that table). Orbital Launch Attempts During 2017 there were 91 orbital launch attempts. Table 1: Orbital Launch Attempts 2009-2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 Average USA 19.0 24 20 22 30 Russia 30.2 32 26 17 19 China 14.8 16 19 22 18 Europe 11 12 11 11 Japan 4 4 4 0 7 India 4 5 7 0 5 Israel 1 0 1 0 0 N Korea 0 0 1 0 0 S Korea 0 0 0 0 0 Iran 0 1 0 0 1 Other 9 10 13 13 Total 79.0 92 87 85 91 There were two Arianespace-managed Soyuz launches from French Guiana which are counted as European. 1 Launch failures During the year there were 4 orbital launch failures and 2 launch failures which reached orbit, tabulated below. To evaluate average launch vehicle reliability I allocate each launch a score between 0.0 (total failure) and 1.0 (success). -

With more than 35 years of experience in developing and executing innovative space technology systems and projects and its range of specific aviation/aerospace and telematics products, the OHB Group is superbly positioned to face international competition. Over the last few years, it has broadened its geographic footprint within Europe and now has facilities in important ESA member countries. These strategic decisions on locations allow the Group to participate in numerous European programmes and missions. The two “Space Systems” and “Aerospace + Industrial Products” business units reflect the convergence of these activities and the focus on specific core skills. The “Space Systems” business unit focuses on developing and executing space projects. In particular, it is responsible for developing and fabricating low-orbiting and geostationary small satellites for navigation, research, communications and earth observation including scientific payloads. Its manned space flight activities chiefly entail the assembly and operation of the International Space Station ISS. -
