Abstract
Our Extraordinary General Assembly is devoted to the memory of one of the greatest men of science to the genial Polish astronomer — Nicolaus Copernicus. The main service of Copernicus which has made his name immortal was in finding the correct interpretation of the planetary motions we observe. Instead of geocentric notions, which proved unable to explain the accumulated bulk of empirical data on the apparent motions of planets he has put forward and advocated the notion of a solar system thus presenting the true picture of the part of the Universe we live in. The scientific revolution started by him was continued by Galileo and Kepler and was crowned with the great theoretical generalizations of Newton. As a result a foundation has been created for the most exact theories of motions in the solar system which were developed during the next centuries. These theories in their modern form give also the possibility to solve all the problems concerning the orbital motions of spaceships.
