Geomagnetic data used for the study of the large periodicities of the geomagnetic field are presented as a series of hourly averages covering two solar cycles. These data were downloaded from the ftp site of the World Data Center for Geomagnetism from Kyoto. These data were calculated annually based on final data both from analogue magnetograms and digital recordings. To study the diurnal variations, non-periodic variations (geomagnetic storms, phenomena SSC or SFE) were used as one-minute averages, recorded in Su...

Nowadays, many torque wrenches can be found on our market, employing different principles, both mechanical and electronic, with various values and torque ranges. However, among these available torque values, there are significant lacks, concerning mainly the torque values in the tenths and units of cNm, which are required for many applications in the field of fine mechanics, optics and electronics. The article deals mainly with the effects on the accuracy and repeatability of torque wrenches, using an example of a...

Many differential equations of Dynamics (i.e. Celestial Mechanics, Molecular Dynam-ics, and so on) one can reduce to polynomial form, i.e. to system of differential equa-tions with polynomial (in unknowns) right-hand sides. It implies that at every step of numerical integration of these equations, one needs to evaluate many different multivar-iate monomials for many values of variables, and that is why minimizing the evaluation cost of a system of monomials in the right-hand sides is an important problem. In Aleso...

The author developed a thermoelectrical model of Solar system planets? magnetic fields and calculated Saturn?s magnetic field with its help. Radially directed thermoelectrical currents of the electroconductive layers of the planet are the essence of that model. The movement of those currents are determined by the intensity if the magnetic field, which is caused by the planetary thermogradient, e.g. the difference of temperature between the planet center and its outer shells of the electroconductive layers. The cal...

Recently, Horava-Lifshitz proposed the theory of quantum gravity, which takes into account the degree of renormalizability in the ultraviolet. This was achieved by anisotropic scaling between space and time, and, therefore, it violates the Lorentz invariance in the ultraviolet range. The infrared limit of a theory reproduces the general theory of relativity for a particular choice of parameter, namely . Lorentz symmetry breaking is performed by preferred foliation of threedimensional space-like hypersurfaces, whic...

In recent years, due to the rapid development of astrophysics and the capabilities of modern technologies, a huge amount of astronomical data such as type Ia supernova, cosmic microwave background anisotropy (CMB), acoustic baryon oscillations, weak lensing and large-scale structure have been obtained. In this regard, a fundamental discovery was made, which showed that our Universe is expanding with acceleration. To describe this phenomenon, many models have been created. One of the main directions is the modifica...

The article presents researches on the use of drones in agriculture. Going away from military and espionage applications, like many other inventions of mankind, drones have finally come to peaceful applications. The inclusion of top technologies in the construction and endowment of drones has made these devices very useful in many applications, such as: industry, agriculture, health, civil engineering, environmental protection, local administrations, security and guarding, transport, etc. In the literature, variou...

A CubeSat is a type of miniaturized satellite for space research. A CubeSat can consist of one or more 10 cm ? 10 cm ? 10 cm cubic unit. A mass of any per unit is not exceed more 1.33 kilograms. Satellite operating conditions are quite extreme. And one of the most important problem which should be resolved for any CubeSat on the design stage is the thermal stabilization for any of its component. Thermal effects can have a significant impact on the operating characteristic of the nanosatellite and its components, i...

Spacecraft flights using light pressure energy are no longer a fantasy, but a reality of the near future. Such spaceships can be used to fly to large and small planets, to meet with asteroids and comets, to perform special tasks in the vicinity of the Sun or near the Earth. Of particular interest are the unique capabilities of such devices in remote areas of the Solar system, even near the solar corona. Here, the solar sail can simultaneously play the role of a power plant and a reliable screen, which protects the...

This paper focuses on the creation of accurate methods for analyzing star catalogues. The method is based on the multifactorial comparison between coordinates and proper motion from the catalogs studied and the Hipparcos Celestial Reference Frame (HCRF). The HCRF system has been considered the astronomical standard by IAU. Therefore, in this paper HCRF is used for assessing the accuracy of modern star catalogues. The method allows the use of different catalogue epochs at the standard equinox. The stellar digital c...

This work focuses on the practical results of determining selenophysical parameters obtained using 2 different approaches to the problem of assessing parameters ? the classic Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and the interference-resistant analysis (method of M-estimation). In this work geliometrical observations were obtained and analyzed using the method. It should be noted the modern robust methods of reducing observations allows for the elimination of wrong measurements that may distort the values of estimations wh...
