unusual facts about Proton-K


Proton-K

Thirty were launched in this configuration, with payloads including all of the Soviet Union's Salyut space stations, all Mir modules with the exception of the Docking Module, which was launched on the US Space Shuttle, and the Zarya and Zvezda modules of the International Space Station.


2011 Asia-Pacific Rally Championship season

While the majority of competitors are privately funded, Malaysian manufacturer Proton enters a factory team of Super 2000 Proton Satria's for Australian driver Chris Atkinson and Scot Alister McRae.

2012 Asia-Pacific Rally Championship season

Australian driver Chris Atkinson won the championship he narrowly lost the previous year, beating the Proton R3 Rally Team he raced for in 2011.

Direct methanol fuel cell

Protons (H+) are transported across the proton exchange membrane - often made from Nafion - to the cathode where they react with oxygen to produce water.

Direct-ethanol fuel cell

Protons (H+) are transported across the proton exchange membrane to the cathode where they react with oxygen to produce water.

Dundalk, Ontario

Dundalk (named after Dundalk in Ireland), originally called McDowell's Corners, was incorporated as a village in 1887, and on January 1, 2000, was amalgamated with the Township of Proton and the Township of Egremont to form the Township of Southgate, located in the southeast corner of Grey County.

Efraim Racker

Once both of these factors were identified Racker was able to confirm Peter D. Mitchell's hypothesis that contrary to popular opinion, ATP synthesis was not coupled to respiration through a high-energy intermediate but instead by a transmembrane proton gradient.

Elementary particle

However, the non-observation of proton decay at the Super-Kamiokande neutrino observatory rules out the simplest GUTs, including SU(5) and SO(10).

GLONASS-K

For launching the satellites, two options are planned: six satellites simultaneously from Baikonur Cosmodrome on the heavy-lift Proton-M, or two simultaneously from Plesetsk Cosmodrome on a Soyuz-2 with a Fregat upper stage.

International Launch Services

Most Proton payloads are too massive to launch with the less powerful Falcon 9 rocket, and there are no spare Ariane 5 launch opportunities, so Proton customers cannot easily switch to other launchers.

Lada Riva

The Riva was still selling well in the United Kingdom and many other western markets in the early 1990s, but the next few years saw a raft of new models come from budget competitors such as Daewoo, Hyundai, Kia and Proton, pushing Lada sales into terminal decline.

Ladderane

Dissipation of the proton gradient is coupled to the phosphorylation of ADP through membrane-bound ATPases.

Lotus Europa S

The car was originally planned to be manufactured at parent company Proton's factory in Malaysia, allowing for a lower sale price, but ultimately the company chose the Lotus Hethel factory for its production.

Magnetic proton recoil neutron spectrometer

The neutron beam is directed onto a thin plastic film (Polyethylene) where the neutrons scatter elastically on the protons of the foil.

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution

Proton Motors of Malaysia raced Evolution III's, Evolution V's (most notable with Proton 1784 where Malaysian driver Karamjit Singh won the 2002 Production Car WRC) and an Evolution VII as the Proton PERT in various Asia-Pacific Rally Championship and APAC rally series.

Mountune Racing

To date, Mountune has supplied engines for road and rally racing, supporting championship teams from Ford, Formula Palmer Audi, Ascari and Petronas/Proton.

MPRI

Midwest Proton Radiotherapy Institute, a proton therapy treatment center in Bloomington, Indiana.

Neutron depth profiling

In NDP, a thermal or cold neutron beam passes through a material and interacts with isotopes that emit monoenergetic charged particles upon neutron absorption; either a proton or an alpha, and a recoil nucleus.

Nitrate reductase

A transmembrane nitrate reductase that can function as a proton pump (similar to the case of anaerobic respiration) has been discovered in a diatom Thalassiosira weissflogii.

Oh-My-God particle

The Oh-My-God particle was an ultra-high-energy cosmic ray (most likely a proton) detected on the evening of 15 October 1991 over Dugway Proving Ground, Utah.

P-process

Such proton captures on stable nuclides (or nearly stable), however, are not very efficient in producing p-nuclei, especially the heavier ones, because the electric charge increases with each added proton, leading to an increased repulsion of the next proton to be added, according to Coulomb's law.

Proton beam writing

Proton beam writing (or p-beam writing) is a direct-write lithography process developed by Frank Watt and colleagues at the Centre for Ion Beam Applications (CIBA), Department of Physics, National University of Singapore.

Proton EMAS

Proton Emas is a range of concept cars designed by Italdesign Giugiaro and developed by Proton.

Proton Inspira

Proton renewed a technological transfer agreement with Mitsubishi Motors, an agreement that in the mid-1980s was fundamental to Proton’s origins.

Proton group managing director Datuk Syed Zainal Abidin Syed Mohamed Tahir has reportedly said that it would cost Proton as much as RM700mil (USD230mil) to develop a new car from the ground up but only half the amount via its collaboration with Mitsubishi Motors.

Proton P2-30A

Proton also considered a tie-up with Mitsubishi Motors in 2011 regarding the development of Proton's upcoming small car.

Proton Persona

All Personas are currently manufactured at Proton's Tanjung Malim plant in Tanjung Malim, Perak.

Proton Satria

He will contest on all six rounds of the 2011 Asia Pacific Rally Championship (APRC) and Per-Gunnar Andersson who drives the second car for the Proton team in the IRC events, while Alister McRae will continue to drive for Proton in the APRC.

Proton Savvy

The Savvy was also among two models (alongside the Proton Gen-2) the now defunct MG Rover was seeking to rebadge when it entered talks with Proton's parent company in 2005.

The car is also the only Proton model so far to be TÜV (Technischer Überwachungsverein) Certified.

Proton Tiara

The genesis of the Tiara was the result of an agreement during the mid-1990s between Proton's then CEO, Yahaya Ahmad, and PSA Peugeot Citroën, a producer of Citroën and Peugeot vehicles.

Yahaya had expressed wishes that Proton not use Mitsubishi platforms, and that Proton cooperate with PSA Peugeot Citroën for access to its diesel engines.

Proton Wira

However, in 2001 Proton replaced the Mitsubishi EFi module with Siemens VDO module that is claimed to cause slight power loss.

Proton-M

In September 2007, a Proton-M/Briz-M rocket carrying Japan's JCSAT-11 communications satellite failed to achieve orbit, and fell in the Ulytau District of Kazakhstan.

Protonium

Unlike the hydrogen atom in which the dominant interactions are due to the Coulomb attraction of the electron and the proton, the constituents of protonium interact predominantly through the strong interaction.

Quasiparticle

Motion in a solid is extremely complicated: Each electron and proton gets pushed and pulled (by Coulomb's law) by all the other electrons and protons in the solid (which may themselves be in motion).

Star Tours

Rex uses the Starspeeder's lasers to eliminate several TIE fighters while a rebel pilot destroys the Death Star in the same manner as Luke Skywalker by firing two proton torpedoes into the exhaust port.
