The pieces are in place for SpaceX's Crew-9 astronaut mission, which is set to launch this week. NASA's Nick Hague and Russian cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov arrived at Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida on Saturday (Sept. 21). The duo will fly to the International space Station (ISS) aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule, which is set to launch atop a Falcon 9 rocket on Thursday (Sept. 26) from Pad 40 at nearby Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

China's astronauts conduct emergency drills in space (video)

(CCTV)

Life remains busy in orbit for China's astronauts with a range of drills, maintenance and experiments to carry out. The Shenzhou 18 crew -- Ye Guangfu, Li Cong, and Li Guangsu - currently aboard the Tiangong space station recently went through a depressurization drill, as seen in new footage released by China's human spaceflight agency on Sept. 15.

SpaceX fishes Starship Super Heavy booster out of the sea

(SpaceX)

SpaceX has pulled some pieces of its Starship megarocket from the sea. On Sunday evening (Sept. 22), SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk posted on X a photo of dripping and damaged rocket hardware being lifted out of the ocean. The mangled metal is part of the first-stage booster that flew on the most recent Starship test flight, Musk said. "Like the ruins of a futuristic, long-dead civilization," he wrote in another post a few hours later.

Perseverance rover enroute to crater rim at 'Dox Castle'

(NASA/JPL-Caltech/ASU)

NASA's Perseverance Mars rover will soon encounter rare rubble dumped on the Red Planet by an ancient asteroid impact, kicking off a new phase of science observations as the rover continues its arduous trek to the western edge of Jezero Crater. Scientists working on the mission announced last week that Perseverance is enroute to Dox Castle, a patch of Jezero Crater whose rocks may have been dumped by the asteroid impact that carved the crater out.

Уважаемые коллеги!

На заседании Ученого совета ИТФ в пятницу 27.09 в 11:30 будут заслушаны 2 доклада:

1). А. Скрипченко
Ренормализация в однородной динамике (по материалам докторской диссертации)

Изучение динамических и топологических свойств перекладываний отрезков и их естественных обобщений является важной задачей, находящейся на стыке
нескольких разделов математики: теории динамических систем, маломерной топологии, алгебраической геометрии, теории чисел и геометрической теории групп. Известные результаты о перекладываниях отрезков опираются на изучение свойств процесса ренормализации - алгоритма, строящего по исходной динамической системе последовательность эквивалентных ей с меньшим множеством-носителем.

Я расскажу о некоторых обобщениях этих наблюдений на другие классы отображений отрезка в себя, а также о приложениях полученных результатов к задачам маломерной топологии, в том числе к задаче С. П. Новикова об асимптотическом поведении плоских сечений 3-периодических поверхностей.

ID и пароль онлайн-трансляций в Zoom те же, что и для предыдущих трансляций семинаров и докладов на Ученом совете:

Meeting ID: 968 9936 4518
Пароль: 250319

При числе желающих не менее 5 будет организован автобус.
Для записи на автобус из Москвы в Черноголовку необходимо до 18:00 четверга отправить письмо на адрес электронной почты bus@itp.ac.ru
После этого записавшимся до 20:00 поступит подтверждение об отправке или неотправке автобуса в зависимости от числа записавшихся.
Запись на обратный автобус - на Ученом совете.
