Apr now that the Hubble space Telescope is circling the world to look for secrets of the universe Nasa is Busy with plans to put three other major observatories in orbit this decade. Hubble is the flagship of what have become known As the great observatories. The next to be launched is the Gamma Ray Observatory scheduled to go into space aboard the shuttle Atlantis in november. It will investigate matter at extreme temperatures and pressure where nuclear synthesis is occurring. The advanced a Ray astrophysics facility is due to go up in 1997, followed by the space infrared Telescope facility in 1998. Each Observatory will operate far above Earth a obstructing atmosphere and thus provide views of the universe unachievable by the Best Telescope on the highest Peak. A the great observatories Are moving us into a new order of magnitude of the parts of the universe that we can study so we re almost guaranteed having whole new worlds of study opened up to us. They re things we just never could look at before a said astronaut Jeffrey Hoffman. Hoffman is one of four astronomers slated to Fly aboard the shuttle Columbia next month with a $100 million Observatory called Astro. Astros four scientific instruments will measure ultraviolet and a Ray radiation during the nine Day flight the first space lab Mission since 1985. A the most significant thing is that this Astro covers a part of the spectrum that Hubble can to touch a said Frank six a senior scientist at nasal a Marshall space flight Center in Huntsville Ala. One of its targets will be Comet Austin believed to be on its first trip through the solar system. Hailey a Comet would have been observed if Astro had gone up As planned right after the 1986 challenger Mission that ended in tragedy. Interstellar space dust a difficult to see and measure because its dark a also will be studied by Astro. Astronomers have no idea How much there is or How much it contributes to the total mass of the universe. A it does no to sound very romantic to say you re studying dirt but that a basically one of the fundamental things we re looking at cosmic dirt a Hoffman said. The launch of Columbia is targeted for May 16. Two weeks later Nasa plans to launch a Delta 2 rocket carrying a German a Ray Observatory known As Rosa. And in August 1991, the Agency will Send up the extreme ultraviolet explorer also on a Delta 2. The observatories great and Small will complement one another and help astronomers determine How and when the Cosmos came to be and whether other stars have planets. Astro for example will provide ultraviolet targets for Hubble during the telescopes planned 15-year lifetime. A astronomers would never survive with just one Telescope or one sort of Telescope. There Are always new ideas a said astronaut Robert Parker an astronomer on the Astro Mission. Following columbian a flight with Astro the shuttle launch schedule for 1990 is a july 9 a Atlantis with a classified defense department payload. A aug. 29 a Columbia with a space life science Laboratory for biological research. A oct. 5 a discovery which will unleash the space probe Ulysses to explore the suns Polar regions. A nov. 1 a Atlantis to deploy the Gamma Ray Observatory. A dec. 12 a Columbia on the first International microgravity Laboratory  downed own plane along with u-2 in �?T60 Moscow apr when the russians downed a . Spy plane in the u-2 incident 30 years ago they also accidentally blew one of their own aircraft out of the sky killing the Pilot the soviet army newspaper has disclosed. The u-2 plane piloted by Francis Gary Powers was shot Down on May 1, 1960, disrupting a Summit meeting 19 Days later in Paris Between president Eisenhower and soviet Leader Nikita Khrushchev and forcing the cancellation of another Summit planned for later that year. The newspaper red Star said in the article sunday that the soviets mistakenly shot Down a Mig-19 and its Pilot in the operation. The paper also disclosed that the soviets sent up a new fighter plane and ordered its Pilot to ram the u-2 in a suicide Mission. The new fighter reached the u-2�?Ts Altitude but failed to ram it. Red Star said that Khrushchev was atop Lenin a mausoleum on red Square watching the May Day Parade when he Learned that a soviet new Model Sa-2 surface to air missile had brought Down the u-2. The commander of the soviet air defense forces marshal Sergei Biryukov climbed the mausoleum a carrying Happy news that the plane had been hit by the first rocket a the article said. A and Khrushchev standing right there on the Tribune congratulated the  Khrushchev in memoirs smuggled to the West and published in 1974, wrote that diplomats watching the Parade knew something big had happened because Biryukov wore a duty uniform rather than the Parade dress worn by the other military officers in red Square. Soviets hurrying to the May Day Parade in the ural Mountain City of Sverdlovsk saw a far different sight what appeared to be fireworks High in the air said the article signed by a col. A. Do Kucharev. The fiery debris was not fireworks but a soviet Mig-19 that was hit by the same Type of missile that exploded behind Powers u-2 and damaged it red Star said in the most detailed version of the soviet military action. Powers Mission began in Pakistan and was to have carried him Over Sverdlovsk for a Landing in Norway. He used neither the automatic destruction device nor Poison he had been Given in Case the Mission failed and he was captured at a collective farm near Sverdlovsk. He was held for three years then exchanged for soviet spy Rudolph Abel. Powers published his memoirs in 1970. The soviet article disclosed for the first time that the soviets had ordered a new Model Sukhoi-9 fighter to pursue the u-2 in an unsuccessful ramming attempt. The Su-9 was unarmed but was Able to reach nearly to the 70,000 feet at which the u-2 operated the report said. The soviets also used two Mig-19s, which were not capable of flying that High. The Pilot of one Mig-19, Boris Avazyan reported to ground control that the debris from the u-2 was actually that from a missile that had missed the u-2, prompting the ground Battery to fire another. The next soviet missile struck the Mig-19 flown by Sergei Safronov 30, who was killed. He was one of 21 soviets Given medals for their role in bringing Down Powers and the red Star article disclosed for the first time that he was honoured posthumously. Avazyan survived and later married Safronova a widow. . Accounts say that the decision to Send Powers was controversial within the Eisenhower administration. The soviets had tried to shoot Down a u-2 Over the same area on april 9, and some within the administration feared sending another Mission could jeopardize .-soviet relations. The u-2 incident ended a thaw in .-soviet relations and was followed by some of the worst moments of the cold War the Bay of pigs Landing of .-backed forces in Cuba in january 1961, the construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961 and the cuban missile crisis in october 1962.protection planned for americans in Philippines Olon Gapo Philippines apr .
