Prognoz 9

Prognoz 9 was a Soviet satellite. It was designed to investigate residual radiation from the Big Bang and gamma flares in deep space.

Mission

The mission was of Investigation of residual radiation from the Big Bang and gamma flares in deep space, and solar corpuscular and electromagnetic radiation plasma flows and magnetic fields in circumterrestrial space to determine the effects of solar activity on the interplanetary medium and the earth's magnetosphere. In addition to Soviet scientific apparatus, carried instruments built in Czechoslovakia and France.

Launch

Prognoz 9 was launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome on 1 July 1983, using a Molniya-M / 8K78M-SOL carrier rocket.

Specifications

The spacecraft with highly eccentric orbit was spin stabilized with a period of 113 s. The spin axis pointed towards the Sun, and was repointed every few days.

Prognoz (satellite)

Prognoz, also known as SO-M was a Soviet scientific research satellite programme. Ten Prognoz satellites were launched between 14 April 1972 and 26 April 1985, by Molniya-M carrier rockets. The satellites were placed in High Earth orbits. All launches occurred from Site 31/6 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome

The satellites were primarily used for Solar research, however the later satellites were used for other research, including research into the Big Bang theory, and Earth's magnetosphere. The tenth and final satellite was used as part of the Interkosmos programme.

PROGNOZ

PROGNOZ is a privately held company based in Perm, Russia that develops business software. The company’s software is commonly categorized in the business intelligence or business process management market segments.

In addition to its headquarters in Perm, PROGNOZ has offices in Beijing, Brussels, Moscow, and Washington. The company name derives from the Russian word for “forecast.”

History

PROGNOZ was founded as the result of a Soviet-era collaboration between the Russian Academy of Science and the Ministry of the Economy. In 1987, a team of economists and scientists from the Academy’s Institute of Economics gathered at Perm State University to conduct a series of economic forecasting projects for the Ministry. Four years later, after the establishment of the Russian Federation opened the national economy, one of these economists, Dmitry L. Andrianov, founded PROGNOZ to address the need for business software that analyzed and forecast economic information. (Andrianov continues to serve as PROGNOZ’s CEO today). A year later, in 1992, PROGNOZ introduced the PROGNOZ Analytical Suite, a software application for statistical analysis and econometric modeling, and a predecessor to the PROGNOZ 5 Platform. In 2001, PROGNOZ expanded its operations from Perm and opened an office in Moscow. This expansion continued in 2006 with offices in Beijing, Philadelphia, Washington DC, Kiev and other locations.
