To start, Russia RadioAstron telescope finally ceiling space with his radio eye set

Taking into account all the nostalgia that we was swimming in recent times have space, it is somewhat appropriate that a time of cold war telescope is gear up her maiden voyage after more than three decades to make development (and delays). The Russian Mission, known as RadioAstron, will finally reality on Monday when a radio telescope from Kazakhstan's Baikonur Cosmodrome before in orbit around 350,000 kilometers from the Earth in the fast. Just ten metres in width, this is craft antenna small compared to other radio ' areas, but its reach can be extended dramatically in combination with signals from those on the ground. This technique called interferometry, is the largest telescope ever built, the a range almost 30 times the Earth diameter and allows RadioAstron capture to interstellar images in 10,000 times the resolution of the Hubble Space Telescope effectively create. However, it remains a large Hürde--as the probe collects data about 144 Mbit per second, it must constantly transmitted information about antennas on the ground. Problem is, it is only an antenna, the RadioAstron of signals received and, if others will be built soon, a healthy piece could be lost its observations. How do you say "Buzz-Kill" in Russian?
