Two South Korean astronauts, one of whom will fly to the International Space Station (ISS), have started training in Zvyozdny Gorodok outside Moscow. Only two successful candidates from 36,000 hopefuls were selected for the flight - Ph.D. Lee So-yeon, 28, from the Korean Academy of Science and Technology, and Ko San, 30, from the Samsung research center. The flight is planned for April 6, 2008, said Maxim Kharlamov, chief cosmonaut training expert. The South Koreans will start studying Soyuz spacecraft systems as part of their basic training program in Zvyozdny Gorodok in April. They will also attend two training sessions at the Korean Aerospace Institute and a week-long course at the U.S. Johnson Space Center. |

Astronomical Unifying Principle Created
Santa Cruz CA (UPI) Mar 08, 2007U.S. astronomers have developed a unifying principle to describe all galaxies, from orderly spirals to chaotic mergers, with mathematical precision. University of California-Santa Cruz scientists found the relationship between a galaxy's mass and the orbital speed of its stars and gas is consistent over a wide range of galaxy morphologies and over billions of years of galaxy evolution. NASA Mission Finds Link Between Big And Small Stellar Blasts
