Translated articles cover the following topics: determination of the gravitational constant from particle motion on a satellite near the libration point; using the moon's gravity in a flyby of asteroids that are approaching earth's orbit; analytic method for computing motion in halo orbit and shielding spacecraft against solar radiation in 'Relikt-2' project; most rapid maneuvers of spacecraft; possibilities for remote diagnosis of auroral and aeronomic characteristics from spacecraft using new type of spectrophotometric imaging system; principles for designing small autonomous spacecraft; analysis of the possibility of mitigating the danger of asteroids to the earth via the impact of a spacecraft; numerical modeling of impacts of meteorites; scientific discoveries made by Granat satellite; quasisatellite orbits for experiments involving refinement of the gravitational constant; Russia, European scientists discuss asteroid, planetary missions; use of passive spacecraft for increasing accuracy of fundamental geodetic parameters; possibilities of using passive spacecraft for solving problems in geodesy, geophysics, and geodynamics; accuracy in determining coordinates of points by observing navigational artificial earth satellites of GLONASS type; and atmospheric refraction correction methods in space geodesy and navigation.
