While spaceships roam. Quotes from the Soviet film Operation "y"

What exactly are they plowing? I suggest taking a break for a while from the lyrics about flying to other stars. Why not see what is flying overhead, literally some 200-400 km away. And now I’ll tell you how to do this (I’ll remind the specialists).

Just a little theory

Around the Earth, the spacecraft flies in an elliptical orbit with at least six parameters. As a rule, these are Keplerian orbital elements. The movement of the device is disrupted by a lot of interference, ranging from the oblateness of the Earth and ending with... I don’t even know what. In fact, it is almost impossible to calculate the position far ahead.
Therefore, the position of each spacecraft is periodically determined by tracking stations. The data obtained are called “beginnings,” because from them you can begin to build an orbit, at least until the next measurement.
The most common TLE data format. It looks something like this:

COSMOS 2503
1 40420U 15009A 15063.01107640 -.00000062 00000-0 00000+0 0 9997
2 40420 97.6230 22.9307 0015305 258.2480 187.6750 15.05052215 702

All launches, even secret military ones, are required to register with the UN database at: www.unoosa.org/oosa
Those who speak English can read the registration rules. The most interesting thing is here: www.unoosa.org/oosa/showSearch.do you can find information on any piece of iron thrown into space, but there is not that much of it there.

Looking to the sky

So we wonder what is flying there. This will help us:
www.calsky.com here you can set your location and see when and where the ISS or Venus will float above you.
www.heavens-above.com is a similar, but almost Russified site.
If you are reading this at night, then it’s time to tear yourself away from the monitor and, imagining yourself as an ancient Greek, turn your gaze to the stars (you can use binoculars).
In principle, there is a lot of interesting things there and I can already leave. But why then did he talk about ballistics?
Suppose we are interested in the vital activity of a certain device that was launched a week ago.

We look for the link “Satellite Database” on www.heavens-above.com, select Year of launch 2015, we get the list:

Serial number Name Satellite status Designation Name in Spacetrack Orbit
40370 OBJECT A Burned up in the atmosphere 2015-001-A DRAGON CRS-5
40371 OBJECT B Burned up in the atmosphere 2015-001-B FALCON 9 R/B
40372 OBJECT C Burned up in the atmosphere 2015-001-C DRAGON CRS-5 DEB
40373 OBJECT D Burned up in the atmosphere 2015-001-D DRAGON CRS-5 DEB
40374 MUOS 3 In Earth orbit 2015-002-A MUOS 3 5592 x 35788 km; 16.7° Visible spans All spans Approaches to other objects

We are interested in this: 40420 OBJECT A In low-Earth orbit 2015-009-A COSMOS 2503
under the link more Launch Date (UTC) 02/27/2015
Where is our Barsik now?

Go to celestrak.com then Current Data then Last 30 Days" Launches total. We look for the three lines I indicated at the beginning of the post, save them to a txt file.
Next, on www.stoff.pl we download the Orbitron version 3.71 program (a little old, but it works even under eight). Install, open, click Download TLE, feed our file and observe the topic of the post (if you don’t see it, make sure there is a checkmark next to COSMOS 2503 at the top right).
Some objects, for example the ISS (ISS), are already loaded; several can be displayed at once.

For starters, the blog of an overseas colleague is planet4589.org. Interesting things come across, knowledge of the language is welcome.


Operation Y"

...................................................................................................................................................................................

Citizen, give way, stand up.
- If I get up, you will lie down with me.

Citizen, these places are specially for children and disabled people.
- What is she, children or disabled people, huh?
- She is preparing to become a mother.
- And I’m getting ready to become a father!

She is preparing to become a mother. - And I am preparing to become a father!

Law is law.

Oh, are you sighted?! Now you'll be blind!

So you work at a construction site?
- I work part-time.
- What do you mean I work part-time?
- I study at the Polytechnic.
- Student...

Well, citizens are alcoholics, hooligans, parasites... Who wants to work today? A?!

Outfits for today: Sand quarry- two people... Sand quarry - two people!
- Announce the entire list, please.

Well, citizens are alcoholics, hooligans, parasites... Who wants to work today? Huh?! Announce the entire list, please.

Sand quarry - two people. Street cleaning - three people. The Mask Factory /* all volunteers are stepping forward */... didn’t send any outfits for today.

There is an order for the construction of a residential building. Cement factory!
- Isn’t there a liquor store?

First of all, I want to introduce you to our wonderful team, which you are temporarily joining. How much does a friend join?
- Fully, fifteen.
- Yeah. One and a half decades. This is amazing. Well, all the best, goodbye.
- Don't be late for lunch!

Cork! A gift from Africa.

Using the power of your imagination, imagine what a wonderful residential area will be created here.

And if we take the entire volume of work performed by our SMU floor by floor, we will get a building that will be twice as tall as the world famous Eiffel Tower.

Or three times higher than the famous Notre Dame de Paris... which means cathedral Notre Dame of Paris.
- Which mother?
- Parisian. God... mother.

Our construction and installation department has built an amount of residential space that is equal to one city like Chita, ten cities like Khvalynsk, or thirty-two Kryzhopoly. It's breathtaking to think that...

How much does a friend join? - Fully, fifteen. - Yeah. One and a half decades. This is wonderful... which translates to Notre Dame Cathedral. - Which mother? - Parisian. God... mother.

Than in America.

Well, now let's get to work.
- Let's work together.

Listen, have you ever had any accidents at a construction site?
- No, there haven’t been any yet...
- They will! Pshli...

What's there?
- Shh...
- Listen, where have you been, I’m running you all over the building. The work is worth it.
- The work is worth it, but the deadline is ticking. Don’t forget, your accounting is in rubles, mine is in days.

Well, Shurik, how is your partner?
- He is being re-educated.
- Great. Why in a whisper?
- Asleep.
- Sleeping?

At a time when our spaceships roaming the expanses of the Universe...

And it’s not for nothing that all continents applaud the workers of our great ballet.

Teaches folk wisdom: patience and work will grind everything down - one, finished the job, go for a walk safely - two, you can’t pull a fish out of the pond without difficulty - three, work is not a wolf, into the forest... no, no, this is not necessary.

By the way!

And the compote? - I say, whoever doesn’t work, eats! Learn student!

And the compote?!

Hands!
- A?!
- Washed?
- Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes...

Bon appetit!
- Yyyyyyyy!!!

I say, whoever doesn't work, eats! Learn student!

Understand, student, now we need to be gentler with people. And look at the questions more broadly. Do you think they gave me fifteen days? Mmm? They gave US fifteen days. And for what? So that you conduct explanatory work among me, and I grow above myself! Well, okay, come on, bay to me, like spaceships plow... /* yawns */ Grand Theatre. And I'll sleep.

Right! And drive away the flies.

Are you in trouble, the bespectacled guy?! /* Kicks */ This is only an advance! Well, that's it now! Well, student, get ready! Soon you will be wearing a wooden mackintosh, and music will be playing in your house. But you won't hear it!

Stop! I'll kill you, student!

Will you hit me?
- No.
- And what?
- Conduct explanatory work.

Will you hit me? - No. - And what? - Conduct explanatory work. - Maybe it’s not necessary, Shurik? I won't do it again, eh? - No... It is necessary. You must Fedya, you must!

Shurik! Shurik, are you a Komsomol member?
- A?
- This is not our method! Where is the humanism? Where is man to man? Understand, Shurik, at a time when spaceships, as you know, are roaming...
- What's your name?
- Fedya, and you are Shurik.
- Married?
- Yes. Wife Lyubushka and two children, Lenochka and Alyoshka.
- So, there is a family. How old are you?
- Forty one.
- Oh...

Maybe it’s not necessary, Shurik? I won't do it again, eh?
- No... It is necessary. You must Fedya, you must!

Mother Mother Mother...

Well, the citizens are alcoholics, parasites, hooligans. Who wants to work?
- I!!!

Just wait, citizen! You are wearing a personal outfit for all fifteen days. Take it!

Ticket number seven. First question. The operating principle of the synchrophasatron. Kostya, how is your audibility? How can you hear? How can you hear me? Reception: The operation of the synchrophasotron is based on the principle of acceleration of charged particles magnetic field...pol-lemmm. Go ahead.

Ticket number seven. First question. The operating principle of the synchrophasatron. Kostya, how is your audibility? How can you hear? How can you hear me? Reception.
- Got it, got it. I can hear you normally, I can hear you normally. I answer the first question of the seventh ticket. The operation of the synchrophasotron is based on the principle of accelerating charged particles by a magnetic field... all right. Go ahead.

Oak! Do you have a summary?
- There are no notes, there are no notes! Don't interfere!
- What are you listening to?
- Van Cliburn! Go!

Hello, Aunt Zoya! Please give me the key.
- You have an exam today!
- Another three whole hours. For now, my friend and I will work out.

Mustards!
- Yes!

Mustards! - Yeah! - It's time! - Yes.

Stuffiness...
- Yes.
- Don’t turn it over!..

It's time!
- Yes.

Take a ticket.
- Professor, can I have more?
- Please.
- Hhh... More.
- Take it.
- For myself.
- What do you mean to yourself?
- Oh, sorry, professor...
- No, you'll forgive me. Come next time.
- Too much...

One, two, three, I’ll give you a test... Kostya, can you hear me? Three-two-one, over.

Hello, professor.
- Hello. What's wrong with you?
- Ear aches.
-Won't this bother you?
- No, no, professor, don't worry. On the contrary, it helps. No noise will distract you from the exam.

What is this in connection with? Are you celebrating some kind of holiday today?
- An exam is always a holiday for me, professor! /* Tears */
- /* I also shed tears */ Commendable...

An exam is always a holiday for me, professor! - The professor, of course, is a mug, but the equipment is with him, mm, with him, mm! How can you hear?

Ticket number nine. Welcome!
- What did you say?
- What?
- What "Reception"?
- I didn’t say “Reception”, but “In front of him”. Ticket number nine, and with it a task.

Oak, can you hear me? How can you hear me? Burdock didn't guess? I am dictating the answer to the first question of the ninth ticket. So...

What's wrong with you?
- There's a shooting in the ear.
-...Ha-ha-ha...
- So it is! For the invention I give it "five", and for the subject - "poor".
- Ha-ha-ha... /* both laugh */

The professor, of course, is a mug, but the equipment is with him, mm, with him, mm! How can you hear?

Who is this?
- Where?
- There. Floating...
- Oh, so this is Lidka from a parallel stream.
- Lida... Amazing girl. Why have I never seen her before?
- Would you like me to introduce you?

Do you happen to have any sausage with you?
- Yes, only a doctorate.
- Let's. It was a doctorate, but it became an amateur one.
- What is this?
- Sleeping pills.
- A! And she doesn't...
- Come on, it’s completely harmless! Well, let's get started. Bobik!

Well, in three minutes a deep, healthy sleep will come. Here you are. /* The dog spat out all the pills, the sly one */

Well, how could you leave things without anyone?
- Rex is there, and Rex will never move away from things. And I have a sore throat.
- Throat.
- Throat.
- And the head?
- And the head.
- Without brains.
- Without brains.

People cannot help but be moved by the boy’s stubborn ardor. This is how Pushkin fell in love, this must be how... /* saw a comb */
- What's wrong with you?

No, nothing... Where did I stop?
- On Pushkin.
- Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, Pushkin! There are miracles there, a goblin wanders there, a mermaid...
- Wait, wait, what mermaid, Sasha?
- hanging on the branches... lying.

I think you were overtraining.
- No, I didn’t re-study. I have something else.

Sasha! So you are a telepath!!! Wolf Messing!

Sasha! So you are a telepath!!! Wolf Messing! - U-u-guessed it? - P-almost...

U-u-guessed?
- P-almost...

Swoop in, hurry up, buy a painting! - Roll up! There is a matter.

Newly settled citizens! Introduce culture! Hang rugs on dry plaster! No modernism! No abstractionism! Protects walls from dampness and protects you from rheumatism! Come on, hurry up, buy paintings!

I recommend the classic plot - Mermaid, by opera of the same name. Music by Dargomyzhsky, words by Pushkin.
- It’s damp!
- One minute! There is a completely neutral plot. Recommended even for use in children's institutions. A?

Roll up! There is a matter.

Where is this damn disabled person?
- Do not be noisy! I am disabled.

This is what we have today.
- Not us, but you.
- What can save us from an audit?
- Sorry, not us, but you.
- Only theft can save us from an audit.

With or without burglary?
- Well, of course, with a break-in.

Article 89, paragraph 2. Up to six years. No, it won’t work. - Operation “Y”! - Why Y? - So that no one guesses. - Idiot.

So there will be no theft.
- Everything has already been stolen before us.

Don’t worry, Comrade Director, people want to figure out what’s what.
- It `s naturally.
- It's legal.
- This is a new, unexplored business for us.
- Exactly. Undeveloped.

Please tell me, is this event... or, better said, an operation...
- "Y"! Operation Y"!
- Why "Y"? Why "Y"?
- So that no one guesses.
- Idiot.

First of all, we need to neutralize the guard.
- Sorry, not for us, but for you.
- No, this time it’s for you!

The watchman is gently chloroformed and restrained without causing injury. Legally, this whole operation is just petty hooliganism. And keep in mind that for all this petty hooliganism I am paying big money.

Any questions?
- Sum?
- Three hundred!

This is not serious!

I'll make more money from mermaids!
- The chickens laugh!

Stop! Your conditions?
- Three hundred thirty!
- Agree.
- To each!
- Agree.

Well, here you are. You had to approach the old woman as a passer-by and attract her attention with a simple natural question. What did you ask?
- "How do I get to the library?"
- At three o'clock in the morning?! Idiot.

Well, what should you have done?
- Stay on guard. Show up before the police in the form of a squad if the old lady whistles.
- Did the old lady whistle?
- No-no.
- So what are you up to?! Blockhead!
- Agree.

And you? Cretin, you should not have stolen these bottles, but broken them!
- Break?!
- Break it.
- Half liter?
- Half liter.
- To pieces?!
- Of course, to pieces.
- Yes, I’ll thank you for this...

Let's all get to our places. Let's go through it one more time.

I brought you money for the apartment for January. - Thank you, okay, put it on the chest of drawers! - What are you doing? - I practice. - Train better... on cats.

I brought you money for the apartment for January.
- Thank you, okay, put it on the chest of drawers!

Can you tell me what time it is?
- Are you crazy?
- It’s hard at school, but it’s easy at work.
- Train over there, on it...
- Fine.

Can you tell me how many degrees below zero it is now?
- What-what?.. What are you doing?
- I practice.
- Train better... on cats.

If something happens, whistle.

Granny! Do you have a cigarette?
- What?
-Where is grandma?..
- I'm for her.

Who are you?
- Watchman.
-Where is grandma?
- I'm for her.
- Where is the exit?
- There. Hands up!
- Wow! /* The dunce doesn't give up! */.

Who whistled?
- I!
-Where is grandma?
- And who are you?
- I'm a warrior! And you?
- Watchman. Let's knit this one.
- This?

Damn! The plunderer of socialist property! Ooh, bastard!

Run, call the police, and I'll keep watch.
- Yeah. If something happens, whistle.

Can you tell me where the toilet is?
- Found the time!
- Thank you!..
