	KH-5 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Codenamed Argon, the KH-5 was a series of reconnaissance satellites produced by the United States from February 1961 to August 1964.
		Ground resolution for the satellite was 140 meters, with a swath of 556 km.
		The satellite was in use during the same short period as the KH-6.

	Spy satellite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A spy satellite (officially referred to as a reconnaissance satellite or recon sat) is an Earth observation satellite or communications satellite deployed for military or intelligence applications.
		Until the 1970s and even the 1980s, many reconnaissance satellites that took photographs would eject canisters of photographic film, which would descend to earth and be retrieved in mid-air as they floated down on parachutes.
		A few up-to-date reconnaissance satellite images have been declassified on occasion, or leaked, as in the case of KH-11 photographs which were sent to Jane's Defence Weekly in 1985.

		The Eye of Argon is an infamous fantasy novella.
		The third noble gas, in group 18, argon makes up about 1% of the Earth's atmosphere.
		The creation of argon hydrofluoride (HArF), a highly unstable compound of argon with fluorine, was reported by researchers at the University of Helsinki in 2000, but has not been confirmed.

		IMINT satellites (and other intelligence assets) are under the operational control of an organization called the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), which is hidden within Air Force Intelligence.
		As an old satellite exhausted its maneuvering fuel, it would be commanded to reenter the atmosphere, and a new satellite would be launched a week or two later.
		On March 3rd the satellite executed a small maneuver to raise its altitude, and on March 7th it executed a large maneuver which raised its inclination to 65 degrees, and its altitude to a roughly circular orbit at 811 kilometers.

	centennial scholar paper--reflex
		During this mission, a gas mixture of argon and krypton was released into the atmosphere from the satellite.
		A newly designed mass spectrometer on-board the satellite measured the amount and energy distribution of the returning gas that had undergone collisions and was reflected back towards the satellite.
		This observation indicates that the argon returning to the spacecraft is due primarily to collisions with the ambient atmosphere and not to collisions with other released argon atoms.

	DISP
		The satellites were designed to deorbit a film capsule (referred to as a "bucket")from space with mid-air recovery of the returning capsule by a specially equipped aircraft.
		Mathematical models of camera operation and frame ephemeris (location of the satellite at the time of image frame acquisition and camera orientation information) were used to calculate image corner coordinates for all the film indexed during the 1995 effort, except KH-5 imagery frames.
		Frame ephemeris is not available for the KH-5 imagery, so orbital ephemeris (track of satellite through space) and estimates of timing data and camera orientation data were used along with a mathematical model of camera operation to estimate imagery frame corner coordinates.

	Earth - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		From Earth, the main apparent motion of celestial bodies in the sky (except meteors which are within the atmosphere and low-orbiting satellites) is the movement to the west at a rate of 15 °/h = 15'/min, i.e., a Sun or Moon diameter every two minutes.
		The orbital and axial planes are not precisely aligned: Earth's axis is tilted some 23.5 degrees against the Earth-Sun plane (which causes the seasons); and the Earth-Moon plane is tilted about 5 degrees against the Earth-Sun plane (otherwise there would be an eclipse every month).
		In an inertial reference frame, the Earth's axis undergoes a slow precessional motion with a period of some 25,800 years, as well as a nutation with a main period of 18.6 years.

	Satellite structure in the argon 2p X-ray photoelectron spectrum
		Satellite structure in the argon 2p X-ray photoelectron spectrum
		A complex satellite spectrum within 35 eV of the main photoelectron lines is reported with an intensity of 9.6% relative to the main 2p lines.
		The major contributions to the satellite spectrum come from 'shake-up'-type processes which have their origin in relaxation effects and involve 3p to np excitations.

	Satellite structure in the argon 2s photoelectron spectrum
		The argon 2s photoelectron satellite spectrum has been calculated for high incident photon energy using correlated final ion state wavefunctions determined with a configuration interaction technique.
		The contributions to the lower kinetic energy satellite structure, which are predicted to amount to 10.3% of the main line intensity, correspond to the population of (2s3p)np and (2s3s)ns final states.
		Satellites with a total intensity of 1.4% relative to the main line are also predicted to occur at higher kinetic energy, corresponding to the population of mainly (2p3p)nd and (2p3s)np final states.

		This can be you yourself, a ship, or even a satellite (which is why many advanced traders will put satellites in trade heavy sectors, so they can monitor the flow of goods in that sector).
		Buy satellites from the satellite factory (NOT the advanced ones, the normal ones) when they are showing a 1000 credit profit, you can buy 80 of them, and sell 40 right there to the trading station in argon prime.
		But having the satellites does let YOU monitor the eb and flow of profit opportunities in the galaxy, but yes, that takes a long time and would require you to stare at that screen forever.

		The Declassified Intelligence Satellite Photographs (DISP) Yearly Satellite Photographic Mosaics of Greenland are composites of fl-and-white photographs of Greenland taken from American satellites in 1962 and 1963.
		The cameras mounted on the ARGON satellite had a wide field of view, approximately 59°, which causes some image distortion.

	Back To Black; Declassification Of Space Photography
		The quantity of data the satellites produced was so vast that the British and Canadian signals intelligence agencies were recruited to do much of the translation and analysis.
		Because a number of new programs reached the deployment stage in the 1990s--including advanced imagery and geosynchronous signals intelligence satellites and what appear to be some satellites with special missions and unexpected orbits--the picture of NRO activity has become much fuzzier than it was before 1992.
		It permitted the CBS television network to photograph two satellites under construction (widely believed to be an imagery relay satellite and a radar imagery satellite), acknowledged awarding a contract to Boeing to develop satellites for its Future Imagery Architecture, and announced its decision not to go ahead with the Integrated Overhead SIGINT [Signals Intelligence] Architecture-2.

		Liquid water is also responsible for most of the erosion and weathering of the Earth's continents, a process unique in the solar system today (though it may have occurred on Mars in the past).
		The Earth's atmosphere is 77% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, with traces of argon, carbon dioxide and water.
		There was probably a very much larger amount of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere when the Earth was first formed, but it has since been almost all incorporated into carbonate rocks and to a lesser extent dissolved into the oceans and consumed by living plants.

	SPACE.com -- Comet Hale-Bopp May Have Formed Near Neptune
		The conclusion was based on the first-ever measurement of a noble gas in a comet, which revealed it has an abundance of argon, said Alan Stern, leader of a team of researchers that announced the finding today at the American Astronomical Society's meeting in Rochester, New York.
		To analyze the argon abundance in the comet, the team used a sounding rocket launched on March 29, 1997, just days before Hale-Bopp made its closest approach to the sun (perihelion).
		The presence of abundant argon means that the comet has formed in a region of space that is no hotter than 35 degrees Kelvin, Stern said.

		The hard x-rays are emitted usually in a short (from a few ns to a few tens ns) pulse, with the source being the anode surface exposed by the strong electron beams generated in the focus region.
		The radiation is produced by collisions of energetic electrons that excite and ionize the inner K-shell electrons of the argon ions present.
		The calculated data base was used to construct a collisional-radiative model for the argon plasma focus experiment.
