Space exploration

File:2000px-Space elevator structural diagram--corrected for scale+CM+etc.TIF
The idea of the space elevator appeared in 1895 when Konstantin Tsiolkovsky envisioned a tower that would reach all the way into space, built from the ground up to an altitude of 35,790 kilometers above sea level (geostationary orbit). In 1959 Yuri Artsutanov suggested a more feasible proposal. He proposed using a geostationary satellite as the base from which to deploy the structure downward. By using a counterweight, a cable would be lowered from GSO to the surface of Earth, while the counterweight was extended from the satellite away from Earth, keeping the center of gravity of the cable motionless relative to Earth.

Notes

Footnotes
  1. ^ It is unclear yet whether the discovery was a bridge or a docking pier.
  2. ^ First mentioned in the Primary Chronicle. By the XVth century Russians already knew more than 500 variations of the recipe.
  3. ^ First mentioned in the Tale of Igor's Campaign. However, according to the Kitab al-I'tibar, carrying a concealed knife in a boot was done around the same time in the Middle East.
  4. ^ Cei-Rigotti was the first automatic battle rifle for standard infantry ammunition. Fedorov Avtomat was specifically designed for a lower-energy ammunition. Vladimir Fyodorov was first to reach conclusion that battle rifles must have full auto capability and cartridge of lower energy and caliber. Sturmgewehrs were first assault rifles of modern type.
  5. ^ BMP-1 was the first purpose-designed infantry fighting vehicle. The preceding Schützenpanzer 12-3 is classified as an IFV in Western sources but does not meet Russian standards for such a vehicle.
