Russia Successfully Launches Eco-Friendly Angara-A5 Rocket | #SciTech, #Space
Angara-A5 Heavy Duty Rocket Launch
Payload Capacity: 24.5+ TONNES
(200 km x 60° orbit)
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu informed to President and Commander-in-Chief Vladimir Putin about the implementation of the first test launch of the heavy class carrier rocket Angara-A5, the website of the Ministry of Defense said. The rocket was launched on December 23 at 08:57 Moscow time from the universal launch complex at the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in the Arkhangelsk region of Russia. Putin took part in the launching process via a videoconference.
The launch of the Angara-A5 rocket was conducted by the operational crew of Russian Aerospace Defense Forces. The launch and the flight of the carrier rocket took place in a normal mode, the Ministry informs. The Angara-A5 brought a payload mass simulator into interim orbit, Interfax reports.
Twelve minutes after the launch, the orbital unit, as part of the upper stage, Breeze-M, and the undetachable payload mass simulator, separated from the third stage of Angara-A5. Further, the delivery of the orbital unit to target geostationary orbit will be implemented with the help of Breeze-M upper stage on a typical 9-hour three-pulse scheme with four activations of the main engine of the booster, officials said.
On July 9, a lighter version of the Angara - Angara-1.2PP - was launched from Plesetsk. The flight, which lasted for 21 minutes, went on a ballistic trajectory over the territory of the Russian Federation.
The Angara-A5 is a heavy class rocket. The launch weight of the vehicle makes up 773 tons; the payload mass makes up 24 tons. The Angara-A5 rocket is environmentally friendly: its fuel consists of kerosene and liquid oxygen, rather than heptyl, which is a highly toxic substance.
It took Russian engineers nine years to complete the development of the Angara rocket. Its creation was a task of special importance. The rocket will enable Russia to launch space vehicles of all types from its territory. It will also ensure Russia's independent guaranteed access to space after NASA suspended cooperation with Russia in the field of space exploration.
The Angara project was evaluated at over 160 billion rubles. The rockets are to put between 3,800 and 24,500 kg into low Earth orbit and are intended, along with Soyuz-2 variants, to replace several existing launch vehicles.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the Angara rocket would be used in missile early warning chain. It will also be used for reconnaissance, navigation, communication for the needs of defense. -Sputnik 23.12.2014.

SUMMARY
=======
Plesetsk Cosmodrome (Russian: Космодро́м «Плесе́цк», tr. Kosmodróm Plesétsk, IPA: [kəsmɐˈdrom plʲɪˈsʲet͡sk]) is a Russian spaceport located in Mirny, Arkhangelsk Oblast, about 800 km north of Moscow and approximately 200 km south of Arkhangelsk, dates from 1957. Originally developed as an ICBM site for the R-7 missile, it also served for numerous satellite launches using the R-7 and other rockets. Its high latitude makes it useful only for certain types of launches, especially the Molniya orbits, so for much of the site's history it functioned as a secondary location, with most orbital launches taking place from Baikonur, in the Kazakh SSR. With the end of the Soviet Union, Baikonur became foreign territory, and Kazakhstan charged $115 million usage fees annually. Consequently, Plesetsk has seen considerably more activity since the 2000s.

MP3:
(1) Inflation, gold, and the stock market bear trap
(2) Korean Airlines Flight 902: the flying Lusitania
(3) The twilight of the United States republic
Hello, my friends, this is Dr. Beter. Today is April 28,
1978, and this is my Audioletter No. 33.
On a summer day in 1971, two men in space suits sat aboard an
awkward looking four-wheeled vehicle that was making its way
across the surface of the moon. American astronauts David Scott
and James Irwin, the lunar landing crew of Apollo 15, were on
their way to get a close look at the gigantic lunar canyon known
as Hadley Rille. They were the first men in history to go for a
ride on the lunar surface. As they bumped along, they passed the
rim of a crater, which they named Earthlight Crater. Mission
Control in Houston radioed back, Arthur Clarke would be proud of
you. Sixteen years earlier, in 1955, the renowned British
writer Arthur C. Clarke had published a prophetic book with the
title Earthlight. Published two years before the Space Age
dawned with Sputnik One, Earthlight was about man's then future
occupation of the moon; and in honor of Clarke's vision, the
Apollo 15 astronauts named Earthlight Crater after the book. And
very often during television coverage of the American visits to
the moon, Walter Cronkite of CBS News had at his elbow none other
than Arthur C. Clarke. In his book, Clarke painted a vivid
picture of the great value the moon would
acquire--scientifically, economically, and strategically. The
climax of this book, honored so uniquely by the Apollo 15
astronauts, is called the Battle of Pico, a hypothetical space
battle centered on the moon; and while the details are quite
different, Clarke's fictional Battle of Pico foreshadowed in
eerie ways the real space battle that took place more than two
decades later in September 1977. The Battle of the Harvest Moon
has been kept a secret from the public, both by the victor (the
Soviet Union), and by the vanquished (the United States of
America); but it is the key to understanding the increasingly
headlong retreat of the United States on all fronts under the new
boldness of the Kremlin.
Like September 1977, April 1978 has been a watershed month in
the needless decline and fall of the United States and of the
western world. Now, as last September, crucial developments have
taken place under the shroud of secrecy with no official hint of
what is actually taking place. Now, as then, the only public
clues to the momentous developments going on behind the scenes
are obscure diplomatic maneuvers and mysterious occurrences of
all kinds. Last September, for example, there was the mystery of
the so-called UFO over Petrozavodsk in the Soviet Union. Then, a
scant week later, there was the loudly trumpeted breakthrough in
SALT II negotiations. This breakthrough, we were told, accounted
for the highly unusual sudden nighttime meeting with Jimmy Carter
at the White House demanded by Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei
Gromyko. As I told you that month in Audioletter No. 26, the
object over Petrozavodsk was not a UFO, and the major media
stories about a SALT breakthrough were lies to mislead the
public; and today, seven months later, there still is no SALT II
agreement.
This month there is the alleged mystery of the Korean air
liner that intruded into Soviet airspace while Secretary of State
Vance was in Moscow to discuss arms limitations. The talks took
place against a background of clear Soviet threats that this was
to be America's last chance to conclude a SALT II treaty. The
talks ended as deadlocked as ever; but suddenly the Soviet stance
in public is the embodiment of sweet reason and patience.
Meanwhile, Secretary Vance refuses to tell the public anything
about what went on in Moscow. [...]

MP3:
(1) The Great Election Surprise of 1980
(2) The planned collapse of America's banking system
(3) The new age of warfare by stealth
This is the Dr. Beter AUDIO LETTER(R), 1629 K St. NW, Washington,
D.C. 20006.
Hello, my friends, this is Dr. Beter. Today is November 30,
1980, and this is my AUDIO LETTER No. 60.
Four days ago the New York Daily News published an interesting
article about a coming motion picture. It's called The
Formula, and deals with an international oil conspiracy. And
even before seeing the picture, Mobil Oil is reported to be
acting very nervous. Supposedly, Mobil is threatening to sue the
movie maker, MGM, if Mobil is mentioned in any way. Somehow the
whole situation seems to symbolize our situation today. The
movie is about oil companies hiding the truth, and at least one
real life oil company would apparently like to hide the movie.
Big Oil always operates behind a wall of secrecy, deception,
and stealth; and in the election just passed, Big Oil has
succeeded for the moment in its grab for the White House. And so
a temporary change of style is brewing in American politics. The
Bolsheviks who have been in power favor active propaganda to
mislead us. By contrast, Big Oil generally prefers to tell us
nothing at all. So, as the so-called Reagan Administration takes
over, we will tend to have a Say nothing government for a
while. But whether our government is controlled behind the
scenes by Big Oil or by the Bolsheviks, you and I lose because
they all operate in the dark where they cannot be watched. We
are living in an age of stealth, and it is leading toward
disaster for us all.
My three topics this month are:
Topic #1--THE GREAT ELECTION SURPRISE OF 1980
Topic #2--THE PLANNED COLLAPSE OF AMERICA'S BANKING SYSTEM
Topic #3--THE NEW AGE OF WARFARE BY STEALTH.
Topic #1--For weeks now Washington has been buzzing about the
great election surprise of 1980. Right up to the last minute all
the Opinion Polls were saying the same thing--Too close to
call. But when the television networks began their election
night coverage, they told a radically different story. Fifteen
minutes after the polls closed on the East Coast, NBC declared
the entity Ronald Reagan the winner. On the West Coast, polls
were still open but voters began drifting away. Even more
shocking, the alleged President Carter himself conceded defeat
less than two hours later. West Coast polls still had an hour to
go at that point, but many remaining voters just gave up. By
then, it was fast becoming clear that voting machines nation-wide
had registered a landslide in the name of Ronald Reagan. It was
an unprecedented state of affairs. The Republican landslide
apparently was enormous, and yet we are told it was a complete
surprise. On all sides, political analysts are still rubbing
their eyes in disbelief. They're trying out all kinds of excuses
to explain why the polls were wrong. Maybe the pocketbook issue
did it, they say; or Maybe all those undecided voters before
the election were really closet Conservatives; or then again,
Maybe it was just a plain old protest vote; or, Would you
believe it was Billy Carter maybe?
My friends, last month I reported that there was one issue
that could help defeat the present Bolshevik Administration.
That was the breakdown of the hostage release ploy just before
the election, and it may be that many voters were affected in
that way that I mentioned last month. But the apparently
surprise landslide was brought about by entirely different means.
My friends, it was not the Opinion Polls that were wrong this
time. It was the tally of votes on Election Day. To bring home
what I am about to tell you, I would like to tell you a personal
story. It's a story of my own race for the governorship of my
home state of West Virginia 12 years ago.
The idea that I run for Governor came from a political leader
in West Virginia. I was then in my sixth year as Legal Counsel
to the United States Export-Import Bank here in Washington. I
had been appointed to that position in 1961 by President Kennedy,
and apparently there were those who remembered my efforts in
helping Kennedy win in West Virginia in 1960. In any case, I
decided to accept the suggestion. On May 1, 1967, I resigned
from the Export-Import Bank and returned to my native State of
West Virginia. For the next year I carried out an exhausting
grass-roots campaign throughout the state. My wife Lilly and I
went everywhere and spoke to everyone, or so it seemed. There
was not a county we missed and there was hardly a hand that I had
not pressed, and from every indication my campaign was going very
well. [...]
