Yes, the "M.V. Akademik Keldysh". I believe all their science/engineering
vessels were named for prominent Academicians. Likewise, their tracking
fleet was named for cosmonauts, posthumously, IIRC.

I've been away doing heavy web security this summer. Hey, Chuck and Karl,
I'm working with a guy who used to hack radars and computers on Guam during
the Bad Old Days. Get with me offline if you want his contact info.
