Is there water and life on a comet?
space mission
Object of study: comet 67R/Churyumov – Gerasimenko
Subject of study: chemical composition, activity of the comet nucleus
The purpose of this work: to explore and talk about a space project, the purpose of which is to test the hypothesis of the origin and evolution of the solar system, the origin of life on Earth
Objectives of the study: to analyze the available information about the comet 67P / Churyumov - Gerasimenko, to collect and summarize information on the progress and results of the Rosetta space mission using the information system of the space sites of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the European Space Agency ESA, Roskosmos, DLR, European Space Operations Center (ESOC) in Darmstadt
Hypothesis: comets brought water and life to Earth.
Relevance: the space project is at the completion stage. Landing on a comet is considered the "third epochal event" in space exploration after the flight of Yuri Gagarin and the landing of US astronauts on the surface of the Moon.
Research methods: collection, analysis, systematization, generalization of information on the progress and results of the Rosetta space mission using the information system of space sites of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the European Space Agency ESA, Roscosmos, ESOC (European Space Operations Centre) in Darmstadt
The practical significance of the study: thanks to the descent to the surface of the comet nucleus, access to the relic material of the solar system will be obtained, which will allow testing the hypothesis about the possibility of transporting water and organic macromolecules by comets.
Research will provide an opportunity to shed light on how life originated in the universe.
SECTION 1
1.1. Comets - "time capsule"
According to scientists, the nuclei of comets carry in their composition the "original substance" in the form in which it was at the origin of the solar system. There is reason to believe that comets are its oldest objects - they formed on the periphery of a protoplanetary cloud and could bring water and organic compounds to the ancient Earth, from which life subsequently formed. Many fundamental questions about the origin and evolution of comets are still unanswered, so this expedition is extremely important. Including because it helps to reveal the secrets of the past of our own home.
The substance of the comet is primary, from which the solar system was formed 4.5 billion years ago, the planets were formed. And comets have preserved this substance in its original form. The planets recycled it, because due to gravity, this substance was compressed. The sun is also from primary matter. But thermonuclear reactions in the bowels of the Sun have changed this substance beyond recognition, and there we see mainly hydrogen and helium.
There are also other small impurities. But nothing has changed in comets, there, as in a refrigerator, the substance has been preserved in a frozen form. What did comets give the Earth? They brought water to Earth, because 3-4 billion years ago there was a powerful bombardment of the planet by comets. They rained down like from a cornucopia. And in comets, about 80% is ice. Some of it evaporated, and some of it filled in the depressions on the planet, and oceans formed on Earth. The fact that comets were the source of water on Earth is confirmed by the isotopic composition of water in the nuclei of comets and water on our planet.
Comets have complex organic matter. For example, glycine is an amino acid. And without it, not a single living being can do. It remains to find the amino acids from which DNA is formed - adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C) and thymine (T) - and from which the spirals of our DNA molecules are composed. This is a spiral, that is, a periodic structure, and when it divides, then any part of this spiral is reproduced, and it is immortal, as long as there is water, oxygen, and heat on Earth. This is how life began on Earth. It is difficult to say how it happened, the probability is very small, but, nevertheless, it happened. And comet matter became the source of life on Earth.

1.2. History of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko

Rice. 1.2. Comet 67R/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
Comet Churyumov - Gerasimenko was discovered on October 23, 1969 by the Soviet astronomer Klim Churyumov in Kyiv on photographic plates of another comet - 32P / Comas Sola, taken by Svetlana Gerasimenko in September at the Alma-Ata Observatory (the first picture showing the comet was taken on September 20, 1969 of the year). He found another comet near the edge of the photograph, but initially thought it was a fragment of comet Comas Sol. When studying subsequent photographs, it was found that this object moved along a different trajectory and thus is an independent comet.
Index 67P means that this is the 67th discovered short-period comet.
It belongs to the group of short-period ones (its period of revolution is 6.6 years), the dimensions of the semi-major axis of the orbit are slightly more than 3.5 astronomical units, the linear dimensions of the nucleus are of the order of several kilometers.

Rice. 1.3. Klim Churyumov and Svetlana Gerasimenko, 1975
Comet 67P belongs to the periodic, to the family of Jupiter
When calculating the trajectory of the Churyumov-Gerasimenko comet, it was revealed that its orbit was changing. Until 1959, the comet's perihelion was at a distance of about 2.7 AU. e. from the sun. Then, as a result of the gravitational influence of Jupiter, this distance was reduced to 1.29 AU. e., which it remains to this day.

SECTION 2
2.1 Aims and objectives of the Rosetta project
The main goal of the mission is to study the Churyumov-Gerasimenko comet in order to collect information about how the solar system was born and evolved.
The Rosetta project is the fruit of new research directions jointly carried out by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the European Space Agency (ESA) in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The Americans planned to carry out an asteroid flyby and a meeting with a comet, the Europeans were working on an apparatus for returning core samples to Earth.
The project, approved by the ESA Science Program Committee on November 4-5, 1993, was named Rosetta in honor of the Rosetta Stone, a slab found in Egypt in 1799 by a soldier in Napoleon's army. Three texts identical in meaning were found on the slab, two in ancient Egyptian (one in hieroglyphs, the other in demotic writing), and the third in ancient Greek. As much as the trilingual inscription allowed the founder of Egyptology, Jean-Francois Champollion, to penetrate the mystery of ancient Egyptian writing, so the data brought by the Rosetta probe should have helped to reveal the history of the origin of the solar system.
On March 12, 2003, as part of the preparation of the ESA Rosetta mission, photographs of the comet were taken using the Hubble Space Telescope, from which its three-dimensional image was built. The dimensions of the comet nucleus were determined - 3 × 5 km.
The Rosetta spacecraft launched on March 2, 2004. The main goal of the mission is to study the Churyumov-Gerasimenko comet in order to collect information about how the solar system was born and evolved. Rosetta reached the comet in the summer of 2014, becoming the first spacecraft to orbit a comet.
The landing site of the probe on the “head” of the comet, approved on October 14, 2014, was named “Agilkia” (lat. Agilkia) - after the name of the island on the Nile, to which the ancient Egyptian cult structures were transferred from the island of Philae before the latter was flooded during the construction of the Aswan Dam.
The main goal of the expedition, which was planned for 2003, was the comet 46P / Virtanen, discovered on January 17, 1948 by the American Carl Alvar Wirtanen in a picture taken at the Lick Observatory. However, for reasons related to doubts about the reliability of the launch vehicle, the launch was postponed. The probe was no longer in time for comet Virtanen, and it was reoriented to comet 67P / Churyumov - Gerasimenko, and the launch time was postponed to 2004. The goals and objectives of the program have not changed in general: the probe approaches the comet and lands a lander on its nucleus. The latter determines the parameters and examines the chemical composition of the nucleus, and, together with a nearby flyby probe, studies changes in the comet's activity over time.
When the reliability of the carrier was confirmed, in March 2004, Rosetta started. A month earlier, on February 5, the landing probe received a new name "Fila" (Philae) - the name of an island on the Nile near the city of Rosetta, where an obelisk was found with a hieroglyphic inscription mentioning King Ptolemy VIII and queens Cleopatra II and Cleopatra III. These names became for Champollion the key to deciphering the hieroglyphs. Although the island's Latin name is Philae, program participants pronounce the lander's name as Philae.

2.2.3. The Rosetta mission to study the Churyumov-Gerasimenko comet has been extended until September 2016.
The European Space Agency (ESA) in June 2016 decided to extend the Rosetta mission to study the Churyumov-Gerasimenko comet for another nine months.
The launch of Rosetta took place more than 10 years ago - on March 2, 2004. And in the summer of 2014, the device reached its intended goal - comet 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko. In November, the Philae probe was dropped on the surface of a space object, but due to an unsuccessful landing, it ended up in the shadow and exhausted its energy reserve in 57 hours, going into sleep mode. However, about a week and a half ago, Philae showed signs of life by contacting the Rosetta station. This gave the ESA specialists hope for the possibility of conducting new experiments. The Rosetta program has been extended until September 2016. The mission was previously scheduled to end in December 2015.
2.3. Project technical support
2.3.1. Construction and design
Rosetta was assembled in a clean room in accordance with COSPAR requirements. Sterilization was not as important, since comets are not considered as objects where you can find living microorganisms, but they are hoped to find molecules that are the precursors of life.
The device receives electrical energy from two solar panels with total area 64 m² and 1500 W (400 W in sleep mode).
The main propulsion system consists of 24 two-component engines with a thrust of 10 N. The device had at the start 1670 kg of two-component fuel, consisting of monomethylhydrazine (fuel) and nitrogen tetroxide (oxidizer).
The cellular aluminum hull and electrical wiring on board were made by the Finnish company Patria. The Finnish Meteorological Institute manufactured the probe and lander instruments: COSIMA, MIP (Mutual Impedance Probe), LAP (Langmuir Probe), ICA (Ion Composition Analyzer), water search device (Permittivity Probe) and memory modules (CDMS/MEM).

Fig. 2.3. Scheme of the Rosetta space probe
Outwardly, Rosetta is similar to a conventional geostationary communications satellite: a characteristic “box” measuring 2.8 × 2.1 × 2.0 m with two solar panels (their span reaches 32 m when opened). The interplanetary station with a launch weight of 3065 kg is equipped with a propulsion system with a fuel reserve of 1719 kg, which provided all maneuvers on the trajectory and entry into orbit around the comet's nucleus.
Scientific equipment weighing 165 kg includes 11 devices and instruments:
the OSIRIS (Optical, Spectroscopic, and Infrared Remote Imaging System) complex for detailed imaging of the nucleus and gas-dust shell of a comet, as well as asteroids;
ultraviolet (UV) spectrometer ALICE for analysis of the gas composition of the coma (part of the comet's head) and tail, including finding the rate of formation of H2O, CO and CO2;

RSI (Radio Science Investigation) equipment for precise radio monitoring of the orbit for navigation near the comet, determining the mass and density of the nucleus, probing the coma and solar corona using the radio occultation method.
2.3.2. Lander scientific equipment
The total mass of the descent vehicle is 100 kg. The 26.7 kg payload consists of ten scientific instruments. The descent vehicle was designed for a total of 10 experiments to study the structural, morphological, microbiological and other properties of the comet's nucleus. The basis of the analytical laboratory of the descent vehicle are pyrolyzers (for studying the chemical and isotopic composition of the Philae comet nucleus), a gas chromatograph (capable of analyzing various mixtures of organic and inorganic substances) and a mass spectrometer (for analyzing and identifying gaseous pyrolysis products). 19

2.4. Project implementation
2.4.1. Flight
On February 25, 2007, the Rosetta flew near Mars. During the flyby, the Fila descent vehicle for the first time operated autonomously, powered by its own batteries. The instruments of the descent vehicle took pictures of the planet from a distance of 1000 km, and data on the magnetic field of Mars were obtained.
November 8, 2007 discovered "asteroid" 2007 VN84, which is likely to collide with the Earth. Astronomer Denis Denisenko was the first to report that the alarm was false: it was just Rosetta preparing for a gravity assist near Earth.
On August 4, 2008, the asteroid Steins fell into the spacecraft's field of view. On August 14, 2008, the flight trajectory was corrected, which ensured a flyby of 800 km from the asteroid Steins on September 5.
On September 6, Rosetta transmitted close-up images of the asteroid. On its surface, 23 craters with a diameter of more than 200 meters were found. Narrow-angle camera NAC (Narrow-Angle Camera) switched to safe mode a few minutes before the approach, and the shooting was carried out by a wide-angle camera WAC (Wide-Angle Camera), which significantly worsened the resolution of the images.
On the evening of July 10, 2010, the spacecraft approached the asteroid Lutetia. Rosetta took many pictures of the asteroid.
10:00 UTC (11:00 CET) January 20, 2014, the Rosetta spacecraft woke up from an internal timer. The signal from the device was received at 18:17 UTC (19:17 CET). Preparations have begun for the meeting with the Churyumov-Gerasimenko comet.
2.4.2. The work of the apparatus near the comet
In July 2014, Rosetta received the first data on the state of the Churyumov-Gerasimenko comet. The device determined that the nucleus of the comet, which has an “irregular” shape, releases about 300 milliliters of water into the surrounding space every second. On August 3, 2014, an image with a resolution of 5.3 meters / pixel was obtained from a distance of 285 km.
On August 7, 2014, Rosetta approached the comet's nucleus at a distance of about 100 km.
2.4.2.1. "Successful Landing"
Images of the comet's surface were obtained using the OSIRIS system (the scientific image processing system installed on the Rosetta). At the beginning of September 2014, after analyzing the images, a surface map was compiled with the identification of several areas, each of which is characterized by a specific morphology. In addition, the Alice ultraviolet spectrograph did not detect spectral lines that would indicate the presence of areas of the comet's surface covered with ice; at the same time, the presence of hydrogen and oxygen in the comet's coma is recorded.
The decision was made to land on the surface of the comet's nucleus on November 12, 2014. Agilkia region was chosen as the landing site.
On October 15, 2014, ESA specialists confirmed the main landing site of the Philae spacecraft. Rosetta was in a circular orbit, 10 km from the center of the comet's four-kilometer nucleus. This allowed a closer look at the primary and secondary landing sites to complete the hazard assessment (including boulder restrictions).
On November 12, 2014, ESA reported the undocking of the Philae spacecraft from the Rosetta probe, a signal about this was received at 10:03 local time at the European Space Flight Control Center in Darmstadt. The descent to the surface of the comet's nucleus took him about seven hours. During this time, the device took pictures of both the comet itself and the Rosetta probe. The landing of the module was complicated by the failure of the rocket engine pressing the apparatus to the ground, which increased the risk of bouncing off the comet. In addition, the harpoons that were supposed to fix the Philae on the surface of the comet did not work. At 16:03 UTC, the vehicle landed.
On November 14, 2014, the Philae lander completed its main scientific tasks and transmitted all the results from the ROLIS, COSAC, Ptolemy, SD2 and CONSERT scientific instruments to Earth via Rosetta. In addition, the craft was raised 4 cm and rotated 35° in an attempt to increase the illumination of the solar arrays.

2.4.2.2. "Communication Lost..."
On November 15, 2014, Philae went into power-saving mode (all scientific instruments and most onboard systems off) due to onboard battery exhaustion (contact lost at 00:36 UTC). The illumination of the solar panels (and, accordingly, the power generated by them) was too low to charge the batteries and perform communication sessions with the device. According to scientists, as the comet approached the Sun, the amount of generated energy should have increased to values ​​sufficient to turn on the apparatus - such a development of events was taken into account when designing the apparatus.
2.4.2.3. Fili responded...
On June 13, 2015, Philae exited the low power mode, communication with the device was established.
Seven months later, on June 13, 2015, Philae showed signs of life: two-way communication was established for 78 seconds. The second contact with the probe was made on June 14: on this day, the communication session lasted about four minutes, constantly interrupted. This was followed by contacts on June 19 (almost 19 minutes with interruptions), June 20 (31 minutes with numerous interruptions) and June 21 (about 11.5 minutes with a long break).
AT last time the signal from Philae was received on June 24: then the "communication" lasted 17 minutes and 11 seconds with numerous connection failures. After that, the probe was silent.
Attempts to establish contact with the probe were made at the end of October, when the Rosetta station approached the comet Churyumov–Gerasimenko. However, the chances that Philae would restore work were not very good.
On August 13, 2015, comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko reached perihelion, the point of its closest approach to the Sun. The researchers managed to conduct several communication sessions. But subsequently, the probe fell silent again, and so far there are no signals from it.
At the point of closest approach to the Sun, the comet and the Rosetta station were at a distance of about 186 million km from our star. In this area, a space object appears once every six and a half years - this is how long the period of revolution of a comet around the Sun lasts.
Now 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko and Rosetta are moving at a speed of approximately 34.2 km/s. The pair is located at a distance of about 265.1 million km from the Earth.
The Rosetta Science Program will run until September 2016. This will allow to collect a lot of important scientific information in addition to that already received.
The current position and trajectory of comet 67P and the Rosetta space module can be seen on the interactive map:
Rosetta's interactive flight map, an interactive diagram of Rosetta's orbital motion.
2.4.2.4. "Philae is dead, Rosetta is alive!"
Attempts to awaken the Philae probe on comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko have been abandoned.
The Rosetta station will crash into the comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko.
On February 12, 2015, the German Aviation and Cosmonautics Center (DLR) officially announced the termination of attempts to establish communication with the Philae probe on the comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko.
The comet is moving away from our star, due to which the temperature on it drops below minus 180 degrees Celsius. Philae is simply not designed to work in such conditions. In addition, during the stay on the space body, the solar panels of the probe were covered with dust, which made it difficult for the already insufficient energy generation.
“Unfortunately, the probability of establishing a connection with Philae is practically zero, and we will no longer send any commands to the device,” DLR said.
As for the Rosetta station, it is still functioning properly. But a little more than six months are left before the completion of the mission: in September, Rosetta will be lowered to the comet's surface.
Participants of the Rosetta mission to study the comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko decided on future fate this spacecraft. It was originally planned to complete the Rosetta mission in December 2015, but then scientific program was expanded until September 2016. After this date, the station will move too far away from the Sun and the generation of energy in the required amount will become impossible.
After the mission is completed, the Rosetta station will be smashed against the surface of the comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko. However, this will be preceded by a long descent, during which the onboard equipment of the station will collect and transmit to Earth a number of scientific indicators.
In fact, it is Rosetta that will perform part of the tasks that were originally assigned to the Philae module. The latter, having shown signs of life last summer, could not restore working capacity.
The extra time will allow for a number of new experiments, some of which will be quite risky. The station will have to fly within 10 km of the comet's surface to obtain detailed images that may help pinpoint the location of the Philae probe.
On August 13, the comet will be at its minimum distance from the Sun, after which it will begin to move away. This will allow Rosetta to collect information about the gradual fading of activity and changes in the nature of the processes occurring on the comet. By the end of September 2016, the station will be too far from our luminary, due to which the generation of energy by solar panels in the required quantity will become impossible. It is assumed that after that Rosetta will be lowered to the surface of the comet. The mission of the Rosetta station will end in September 2016, because due to the distance from the Sun, the generation of energy in the required amount will be impossible. The finale of the program will be the fall of the device on the surface of the comet.
SECTION 3
3.1. Achievements and results of the project
3.1.1. Chemical composition of gases emitted from the coma (cloud surrounding the nucleus)
The comet exudes "aromas" of rotten eggs (hydrogen sulfide), stables (ammonia), formaldehyde and hydrocyanic acid. Plus, traces of methanol and sulfur dioxide were found.
Comet 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko surprises with an abundance of various "smells". Initially, the researchers believed that as an object approaches the Sun, the most volatile molecules, in particular carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, will be emitted first.
Scientists at the European Space Agency (ESA) have detected a "high content" of oxygen in a cloud of dust and gas surrounding comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko (67P), but have not yet been able to explain its origin. The presence of oxygen molecules on the icy comet, which caused surprise to scientists, was discovered after receiving data sent from the Rosetta probe.
The stunned scientists did not expect to find oxygen molecules on the comet, because, despite the fact that this element is the third most abundant in the universe, its molecules very easily form compounds with other elements, resulting in, for example, water or carbon dioxide. .
The ESA calls the find unexpected, as "there are not many examples of interstellar O2 detected today."
Kathrin Altwegg of the University of Bern, a member of the research team, said that oxygen could have been incorporated into the comet at the time of its formation, possibly as a result of a collision, but this theory goes against the grain. existing model formation of the solar system.
It turned out that there are no “caves” inside 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The comet has a porous structure; it contains four times more dust than ice.
Previously, it was also found that 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko is one of the darkest objects in the solar system. The comet's albedo is only 6%. For comparison: the corresponding indicator of the Moon is 12%, the Earth - about 37%.
Rosetta recorded vibrations electromagnetic field comet, the frequency of which is from 40 to 50 MHz. By frequency conversion, these vibrations were brought into the sound range that the human ear can perceive - the "voice of a comet."

3.1.2 Characteristics of the comet
The comet has a porous structure and 75-85% of its volume is void. The temperature on the illuminated side fluctuates between -183 and -143 °C. The comet has no magnetic field.
The force of gravity on the core is about 50 thousand times less than on Earth, and the earth's 100 kg turned into ... 2 g.
The core has irregular shape, and in the first approximation can be described as consisting of two parts fastened together. The dimensions of these fragments are estimated as 4.1 × 3.2 × 1.3 km (most) and 2.5 × 2.5 × 2.0 km (smaller), the volume is 25 km³. This form is associated with the origin of the comet as a result of the merger of two other celestial bodies. Parts of the comet formed separately, after which they collided with each other. According to scientists, the collision occurred at a low relative speed of the two bodies - about 1.5 m/s.
ESA publications compared the shape of the comet's nucleus to a toy rubber duck. According to the latest estimates, the mass of the comet is 1013 kg (10 billion tons) with an error of 10%, the rotation period is 12 hours 24 minutes.
The South Pole, which is in a state of polar night for most of the comet's orbit (5.5 years), is rich in water and carbon dioxide.
In 2014, with the help of Rosetta, experts discovered molecules of 16 molecules on a comet. organic compounds, including carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide in a coma, four of which - methyl isocyanate, acetone, propanal and acetamide - have not been previously encountered on comets. Also, "Rosetta" showed the presence of polymer molecules on the surface of the comet, formed under the influence of radiation, and the absence of aromatic compounds. The comet has more than a hundred formations of ice, which turns into vapor with dust particles as the comet approaches the Sun. In 2016, it was announced that frost had been found on the comet. Scientists, after analyzing more than 3 thousand samples captured in the vicinity of the comet, came to the conclusion that the comet's coma contains molecular oxygen.
The composition of water vapor on a comet is different from that of Earth's water vapor. In May 2015, scientists discovered the so-called balancing rocks on the comet. The comet's surface is divided into 19 regions named after ancient Egyptian gods and goddesses.

2.5 x 2.5 x 2.0 km (smaller part) .
CONCLUSIONS
As a result of the data obtained, the following conclusions can be drawn:
Comets - frozen "construction debris" left after the formation of the solar system, in fact, turned out to be a mixture of water ice and dust. If all the matter of the core is compressed, it would be denser than water, but in reality, Rosetta registered a much lower density and made leading scientists think: is the “time capsule” riddled with caves and caverns?
Now we can assume that this mystery has been solved: comet 67P is not an ice cube, but rather a meringue cake, quite hard, but at the same time very light, glued together from a myriad of powdery dust particles.
The calculated mass of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko turned out to be slightly less than 10 billion tons. mathematical models The shape used images from the OSIRIS camera, which made it possible to determine the volume of the core at about 18.7 km3, which means that the density is 533 kg/m3 (approximately that of dry wood).
The analysis showed that the chemical composition of cometary water differs from that of the earth - this largely contradicts the hypothesis that comets delivered water to the Earth and other planets of the solar system.
It is too early to close the last page of the grand epic Rosetta (the total cost of the mission is estimated at 1.3 billion euros), but it is worth summing up intermediate results. The undoubted result of the flight - and one of the greatest achievements of astronautics - was the first soft landing on such a specific celestial body as the nucleus of a comet.
According to ESA Director General Jean-Jacques Dordain, Rosetta's research program to study comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko is worthy of the Nobel Prize. "I hope that Nobel Prizes will be awarded based on the results of the research programs carried out by the Rosetta and Philae spacecraft."
Thanks to the descent to the surface of the core, access to the relic material of the solar system was obtained, which made it possible to test the hypothesis about the possibility of water and organic macromolecules being transported by comets. Research allowed to shed light on how life originated in the universe.
Scientists continue to analyze the data received from the lander, in particular about the temperature on the surface of the comet, the composition of its constituent materials. So it turned out that the object has a porous structure, on the surface and in the gas and dust cloud around the nucleus, called a coma, there are organic molecules, water, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
After analyzing the information, it was concluded that the central body is homogeneous, but very loose. Scientists estimate that it is 75% dust particles and 25% water ice.
In general, the mission was completed successfully.
During your stay research apparatus on a surface
and near comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko assembled
a huge array of scientific data, the analysis of which showed that
that the icy body of the comet, which is the remnants of material, from
which formed the objects of the solar system, has
more diverse nature and more complex structure,
than scientists previously believed.
It is clear that these are far from all the results of the mission - it will take years to fully study and analyze them. It is possible that new discoveries are ahead that will help to better understand the history of the solar system and our planet.

Among the methods of astronomy, otherwise the methods of astronomical research, three main groups can be distinguished:

  • observation,
  • measurement,
  • space experiment.

Let's take a look at these methods.

Astronomical observations

Remark 1

Astronomical observations are the main way to study celestial bodies and events. It is with their help that what is happening in near and far space is recorded. Astronomical observations are the main source of knowledge obtained experimentally

Astronomical observations and processing of their data, as a rule, are carried out in specialized research institutions (astronomical observatories).

The first Russian observatory was built at Pulkovo, near St. Petersburg. The compilation of star catalogs of stars with the highest accuracy is the merit of the Pulkovo Observatory. We can say that in the second half of the 19th century, behind the scenes, she was awarded the title of "astronomical capital of the world", and in 1884 Pulkovo claimed the zero meridian (Greenwich won).

Modern observatories are equipped with observation instruments (telescopes), light-receiving and analyzing equipment, various auxiliary devices, high-performance computers, and so on.

Let us dwell on the features of astronomical observations:

  • Feature #1. Observations are very inert, therefore, as a rule, they require rather long periods of time. Active influence on space objects, with rare exceptions that are provided by manned and unmanned astronautics, is difficult. Basically, many phenomena, take at least the transformation of the angle of inclination of the Earth's axis to the orbital plane, can only be recorded through observations over several thousand years. Consequently, the astronomical heritage of Babylon and China of a thousand years ago, despite some inconsistencies with modern requirements, is still relevant.
  • Feature #2. The process of observation, as a rule, takes place from the earth's surface, at the same time the earth carries out a complex movement, so the earthly observer sees only a certain part of the starry sky.
  • Feature number 3. Angular measurements performed on the basis of observations are the basis for calculations that determine the linear dimensions of objects and the distances to them. And since the angular sizes of stars and planets, measured using optics, do not depend on the distance to them, the calculations can be quite inaccurate.

Remark 2

The main instrument of astronomical observations is an optical telescope.

An optical telescope has a principle of operation determined by its type. But regardless of the type, its main goal and task is to collect the maximum amount of light emitted by luminous objects (stars, planets, comets, etc.) to create their images.

Types of optical telescopes:

  • refractors (lens),
  • reflectors (mirror),
  • as well as mirror lenses.

In a refractor (lens) telescope, the image is achieved by the refraction of light in the objective lens. The disadvantage of refractors is an error resulting from blurring the image.

A feature of reflectors is their use in astrophysics. In them, the main thing is not how light is refracted, but how it is reflected. They are more perfect than lenses, and more accurate.

Mirror-lens telescopes combine the functions of refractors and reflectors.

Figure 1. Small optical telescope. Author24 - online exchange of student papers

Astronomical measurements

Since measurements in astronomical research are carried out using various instruments and instruments, we will briefly review them.

Remark 3

The main astronomical measuring instruments are coordinate measuring machines.

These machines measure one or two rectangular coordinates from a photographic image or spectrum diagram. Coordinate measuring machines are equipped with a table on which photographs are placed and a microscope with measuring functions used to aim at a luminous body or its spectrum. Modern devices can have a readout accuracy of up to 1 micron.

Errors may occur during the measurement process:

  • the instrument itself
  • operator (human factor),
  • arbitrary.

Instrument errors arise from its imperfection, therefore, its accuracy must be checked beforehand. In particular, the following are subject to verification: scales, micrometric screws, guides on the object table and the measuring microscope, reference micrometers.

Errors associated with the human factor and randomness are stopped by the multiplicity of measurements.

In astronomical measurements, there is a widespread introduction of automatic and semi-automatic measuring instruments.

Automatic devices work an order of magnitude faster than conventional ones, and have half the mean square error.

space experiment

Definition 1

A space experiment is a set of interconnected interactions and observations that make it possible to obtain necessary information about the studied celestial body or phenomenon carried out in space flight (manned or unmanned) in order to confirm theories, hypotheses, as well as improve various technologies that can contribute to the development of scientific knowledge.

The main trends of experiments in space:

  1. The study of the course of physical and chemical processes and the behavior of materials in outer space.
  2. The study of the properties and behavior of celestial bodies.
  3. The influence of space on man.
  4. Confirmation of theories of space biology and biotechnology.
  5. Ways of space exploration.

Here it is appropriate to give examples of experiments carried out on the ISS by Russian cosmonauts.

Plant Growth Experiment (Veg-01).

The objective of the experiment is to study the behavior of plants in orbital conditions.

Experiment "Plasma Crystal"- study of plasma-dust crystals and liquid substances under microgravity parameters.

Four stages were carried out:

  1. The plasma-dust structure in a gas-discharge plasma at a high-frequency capacitive discharge was studied.
  2. The plasma-dust structure in a plasma was studied in a glow discharge with direct current.
  3. It was investigated how the ultraviolet spectrum of cosmic radiation affects macroparticles, which can be charged with photoemission.
  4. Plasma-dust structures in open space under the action of solar ultraviolet and ionizing radiation.

Figure 2. Experiment "Plasma Crystal". Author24 - online exchange of student papers

In total, more than 100 space experiments were carried out by Russian cosmonauts on the ISS.

The paper tells about the history of the holiday Cosmonautics Day, presents a brief biography of Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin.
