Fireproof fragments TGK will fall in preset area of water area of Pacific ocean. Prospective time of falling is 22:50 Moscow time. Experiment "Plasma-Progress" (The supervisor of studies: technical science doktor V.I.Lukyashchenko) The used equipment: - Regular impellent installation TGK "Progress"; - Ground means of radio observation - a radar of not coherent dispersion of Institute of Solar-terrestrial physics of the Siberian branch of the Russian academy of sciences (town of Irkutsk). The purpose: Definition of existential dependences of density of a plasma environment of the space vehicle arising at work on its board of liquid rocket engines. Problems(Tasks): - Definition of parameters (reflective characteristics, the sizes, density, etc.) the large-scale plasma formations arising at work of engines of correction and engines of positioning and orientation TGK "Progress" at a various orientation of jets of engines concerning a direction of movement space craft (KA). - Adaptation of physical model of formation of a plasma environment around KA with reference to TGK "Progress". - Research of interaction formed around nizkoorbitalnykh KA plasma formations with coming ionosfer a stream and a sunlight. - Carrying out of the analysis of influence of exhaust jets Power Unit on radio shape law orbit KA by comparison of reflective characteristics TGK "Progress" at working and idle engines. Expected results: The forecast of parameters of plasma environment ISS during the periods of regular work of engines of different draft and in case of supernumerary emissions of gases and plasma. Results of experiment: Reception of reflective characteristics TGK "Progress" under various conditions of performance of experiment.
