Whois & Analysis for oko.net

Oko (meaning Eye in old Russian), is a Russian (previously Soviet) missile defence early warning programme consisting of satellites in Molniya and geosynchronous orbits.

Oko satellites are used to identify launches of ballistic missiles by detection of their engines' exhaust plume in infrared light, and complement other early warning facilities such as Voronezh, Daryal and Dnepr radars.

The information provided by these sensors can be used for the A.135 anti-ballistic missile system which defends Moscow.

The satellites are run by the Russian Aerospace Forces, and previously the Russian Aerospace Defence Forces and Russian Space Forces.

As of December 2015, it is being replaced by the new EKS system.

Monetization is the process of converting or establishing something into legal tender.

While it usually refers to the coining of currency or the printing of banknotes by central banks, it may also take the form of a promissory currency.

Profit or normal profit is a component of (implicit) costs and not a component of business profit at all.

It represents the opportunity cost, as the time that the owner spends running the firm could be spent on running a different firm.

The enterprise component of normal profit is thus the profit that a business owner considers necessary to make running the business worth his or her while, i.e., it is comparable to the next-best amount the entrepreneur could earn doing another job.

Particularly if enterprise is not included as a factor of production, it can also be viewed a return to capital for investors including the entrepreneur, equivalent to the return the capital owner could have expected (in a safe investment), plus compensation for risk.

In other words, the cost of normal profit varies both within and across industries; it is commensurate with the riskiness associated with each type of investment, per the risk-return spectrum.
