چکیده

Abstract In February 2013, the first Austrian nanosatellite BRITE-Austria/TUGSAT‑1 was launched into orbit to observe brightness variations of massive luminous stars. Although mission originally planned last only two years, BRITE-Austria has been providing scientific data at a high quality standard for more than eight years. The natural degradation systems on board over time as well impact radiation, especially light-sensitive detectors, led decrease in efficiency and quality. To ensure continuous operation level quality, several countermeasures were successfully introduced some which are highlighted this paper. BRITE shown impressively that, with help small inexpensive satellites, even highly demanding objectives can be achieved. satellites have delivered new insights physical nature stars, their pulsations, “heartbeats”, described numerous publications, observed complete development nova Carina field.

The success story of crystallography1

Diffractionists usually place the birth of crystallography in 1912 with the first X-ray diffraction experiment of Friedrich, Knipping and Laue. This discovery propelled the mathematical branch of mineralogy to global importance and enabled crystal structure determination. Knowledge of the geometrical structure of matter at atomic resolution had revolutionary consequences for all branches of the...
