Тема 6 Spotlight on Russia ГДЗ Spotlight 11 класс
Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Юлия Ваулина, Джунни Дули 11 класс, Просвещение: 7. Space It’s 50 years since Russia sent the first artificial satellite into space. We decided to look at another milestone in space history. Russia has a long and distinguished history imin space. It was the first country to send a satellite into space, the first country to send a man into space and the first country to launch a space station into space. Even when the International Space Station was launched in 1988, the Russians have already ‘been there and done that’. The Mir Orbital Complex was in orbit for fifteen years, three times longer than initially planned. During that time, there were many manned missions to and from it and many spacewalks. Mir took ten years to build. The main piece or module weighing 20 tonnes, was launched into space in 1986. A further six modules were launched individually and added to the main module making a total weight of 130 tonnes. The main module contained the living quarters for two cosmonauts in tiny cabins with windows. The first two crew members were Leonid Kizim and Vladimir Soloviev. Each module had a special purpose. Kvant was used for x-ray and UV astronomy, Kvant 2 was used as an experimental manoeuvring unit for space suited astronauts. Kristall was a micro-gravity research laboratory. Spektr and Priroda were Earth observation platforms. Mir was taken out of orbit in 2001 because of financial reasons. There just wasn’t enough government or private funding to keep it in operation. What remains of the Mir Space Station is now somewhere at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, but it will remain a huge achievement in space technology and a landmark in spaceflight history. ACTIVITY Do some research and make a timeline of the Mir Orbital Complex. With a partner, discuss anything you know about Mir that is not mentioned in the text. What other landmark events in space has Russia been involved in? *Цитирирование части задания со ссылкой на учебник производится исключительно в учебных целях для лучшего понимания разбора решения задания.
Ответ
Timeline of the Mir Orbital Complex
| Year | Event |
|---|---|
| 1986 | The main module of Mir was launched into space. |
| 1986–1996 | Six additional modules were launched and attached to the main module. |
| 1986–2001 | Mir was in orbit for 15 years. |
| 2001 | Mir was taken out of orbit and fell into the Pacific Ocean. |
Other facts about Mir: It was the first long-term inhabited research station in space. Many international astronauts visited Mir during joint missions. The station helped scientists study life in space, microgravity, and Earth observation.
Other landmark events in Russian space history: the launch of Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite; Yuri Gagarin’s first human spaceflight; the first spacewalk by Alexei Leonov; and Russia’s participation in the International Space Station project.
