Jänner um 03.00 Uhr früh mit seinem vierfuffziger Scania in Linz abfährt, Ladung ist 20 Tonnen Hundefutter, 400 Kilo Dnepr Motorrad und 75 Kilo Dnepr Fahrer.
Anderntags bei minus 5 Gräder ist die Dnepr sofort einsatzbereit. Rund um Trondheim gibt es richtige Autobahn, wenig, aber doch.
Mit Gurten werden Batterie und Batteriekasten fixiert, bis zum nächsten Schweißgerät muß das halten, langsam erkenne ich wie uncool es ist, mit einem Dirtbike auf anspruchsvolle Reise zu gehen, die eh bloß äußerlich sichtbaren, als belanglos abgetanen Zeichen des maroden Zustandes meiner geplagten Winterdnepr werden immer empfindlicher spürbar.
SPACE.com -- Dnepr Rocket Successfully Orbits Japanese Satellites(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
MOSCOW (Interfax) — A Dnepr civilian rocket converted from the Russian RS-20 Voyevoda intercontinental ballistic missile (known as SS-18 or Satan in the West) orbited two Japanese OICETS and INDEX satellites, at 5:25 p.m.
The Dnepr can be used to put spacecraft with a payload of up to 3.5 tonnes in high elliptical orbits or on moon-bound trajectories.
The Dnepr, which is manufactured by the Pivdenmash plant in Ukraine, is to make one more flight for a foreign customer in 2005.
For the next two years, the ISC Kosmotras’ plan is to perform six more launches of the Dnepr LV that will deliver into orbit 53 satellites of various countries, the mass of the payloads ranging from 1 to 1,350 kg.
The DNEPR LV that will carry the satellites into orbit is scheduled for launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome.
The Dnepr Program is based on the SS-18 assets, all of which are located in Russia, as well as on silos available at Baikonur Cosmodrome.
The Soviet Dnepr M-72 motorcycle combination was a copy of the German BMW R71 heavy tourer bike.
The R71 was a civilian model which might have seen military service with the Wehrmacht, had it not been surpassed by the BMW R75 which was already available as a prototype in 1938.
The Soviet copy of the BMW R71 was designated Dnepr M-72, and it is still being manufactured in China today.
The Dnepr lifted off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at 5:10 pm EDT (2110 GMT) Tuesday, placing the experimental Japanese satellites into a Sun-synchronous orbit.
The primary payload on the Dnepr was the Optical Inter-orbit Communications Engineering Test Satellite (OICETS), a Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) experimental satellite.
The launch was the fifth orbital mission for the Dnepr, a converted SS-18 ICBM, and the first since mid-2004.
According to the UEFA official website, after being defeated by Tbilisi Lokomotivi (2:3), Banants was close to having the same fate as Mika.
Playing with Ukrainian Dnepr may be a return match for the Mariupol Ilichevets beating Banants past season.
It should be noted that Banants will play UEFA Cup second round qualifiers with Ukrainian Dnepr in Yerevan August 11, the response guest match will take place August 25.
