One of the main obstacles to the deployment of the launch site in Ukraine is the dense population on its territory and the inability to ensure safety in the launch vehicle flight phase due to the hazard of separating parts impact on the neighbouring countries during the nominal mission and launch vehicle (its fragments) impact in the event of an accident. To date, the project of the promising Cyclone-1M space launch system featuring a three-stage lightweight ILV has been developed in Yuzhnoye State Design Office, which will allow comprehensive tackling of the flight safety issue. It features the launch site in the Kherson region with the flight trajectories routed southward to place the spacecraft into the sun-synchronous orbit. The article provides a theoretical and computational safety analysis during the nominal mission of the Cyclone-1M ILV and in the event of an accident in the flight phase, as well as recommendations for flight safety improvement. It is shown that the proposed technical and organizational solutions ensure the fulfillment of flight safety requirements for the population and facilities on the territory of Ukraine, adjacent to the launch point, on the territories of Turkey and African countries, which fall within the emergency ILV impact areas, as well as for vessels in the waters of the Black and Mediterranean Seas. Hazardous zones of the Mediterranean Sea for vessels in the areas of the fall of separating parts were calculated. To ensure the safety of vessels in the Mediterranean Sea, it is required to remove them from the hazardous zones during the ILV launch. The resulting total collective risk for the population within the emergency ILV impact area is 3.4610–5, which ensures the fulfillment of the international flight safety requirements. Now the main problem remains the ILV flight over the territory of the Black Sea State Biosphere Reserve, where an emergency ILV may fall in the event of an accident in the initial flight phase.","PeriodicalId":42936,"journal":{"name":"Space Science and Technology-Kosmicna Nauka i Tehnologia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49318535","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Hunga-Tonga-Hunga-Ha’apai (Tonga for short) volcano explosion on January 15, 2022, has shown a surge of renewed interest in investigating effects in the Earth — atmosphere — ionosphere — magnetosphere system since this volcano can be rightfully classified as unique. A number of papers have already dealt with the ionospheric effects generated by the Tonga volcano. The temporal variations in the total electron content (TEC) were used to determine the number of volcano explosions to be five. The second and third explosions were the strongest, with the second being the most intense. The response of the ionosphere to the Tonga volcano explosion has been studied on local and global scales by making use of the Global Positioning System satellite constellation and measurements onboard the Swarm satellite network. In the vicinity of the volcano explosion, disturbances in TEC attained 5—10 TECU. In addition to the local effect, traveling ionospheric disturbances were observed to propagate, which were due to the generation and propagation of atmospheric gravity waves with speeds of 180 m/s to 1,050 m/s. Of particular importance to global-scale perturbations is the Lamb wave, which propagated with a speed of 315 m/s. At nighttime, plasma depletions of the equatorial ionosphere were revealed over the tropical Pacific Ocean when the electron density at 400—500 km altitude showed a decrease by 2-3 orders of magnitude. The length of these formations in longitude exceeded ~10 Mm, and they were observed for more than 4—5 h. The scientific objective of this study is further analysis of aperiodic and quasi-periodic perturbations in the ionosphere, which were caused by the Tonga volcano explosion, in a wide range of distances from the source of disturbance (from ~0.1 Mm to 5 Mm). To reveal the ionospheric response to the Tonga volcano explosion, the records of signals from Global Positioning System satellites have been analyzed. The intercomparison of temporal variations in TEC observed on the reference days and on the day when the volcano explosion occurred has resulted in the determination of basic principles of the generation of ionospheric perturbations and the estimation of numerical magnitudes of the parameters of the perturbations. Four groups of disturbances have been detected, each of which arrived at different time delays with respect to the moment of the volcano explosion. It is important to note that the time delay increases with increasing distance from the volcano to the observational instruments. The first group of speeds included the disturbances traveling with a speed close to 1,000 m/s and having an N-shaped profile. This perturbation was generated by a blast wave whose speed depended on the excess pressure and a priori exceeded the speed of sound. In the second group, the speed varied in the 336 m/s to 50","PeriodicalId":42936,"journal":{"name":"Space Science and Technology-Kosmicna Nauka i Tehnologia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47196346","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, many methods of cleaning near-Earth space with the use of various means based on various physical principles are considered. Out of them all, the active method using a rocket propulsion system is the most commonly implemented. Considering the high specific impulse, small size, and mass of electric propulsion systems, they are a particularly attractive choice as means of post-mission disposal. Despite their advantages, such systems have certain peculiarities that need to be considered in the process of designing and implementing modern post-mission disposal means. These peculiarities include the maximum time of a single firing of the electric propulsion system, the maximum time of the battery charging, and the time of operation of the control system. The purpose of this work is the determination the capabilities of the modern Hall thrusters ST-25 and ST-40 developed by Space Electric Thruster Systems in solving the problem of post-mission disposal of large-sized orbital debris from low-Earth orbits taking into account the limitations on the power supply system. To achieve this goal, methods of analysis, synthesis, comparison, and computer simulation were used. In the course of the carried-out research, the following problems were solved. A scheme for post-mission disposal of large-sized orbital debris from low-Earth orbit was developed with consideration of the use of an electric propulsion system. The dependence was determined of the minimum delta-v increment required for post-mission disposal of an object within 25 years on the initial altitude of the orbit and the ballistic coefficient of the orbital debris. The upper boundary of the combinations of masses of orbital debris, the altitude of the initial orbit, and the ballistic coefficient were determined, for which post-mission disposal from near-Earth orbits is possible with the use of electric propulsion systems.

These can be subassembly operations in creating pressure-tight buildings for residential and industrial use, as well as for storing energy resources, pipelines of space complexes, or repair for ensuring the long-term operation of existing systems. Electron beam welding (EBW) is an optimal and more technological process for these works in comparison with other welding methods. Deep vacuum and low temperatures, which are the natural environment under space conditions, encourage the use of electron beam technologies, including welding. The efficiency of this process is 85—90 %, which is the maximum one in comparison with other welding methods. EBW under Earth gravity allows gaining the mechanical and chemical properties, as well as vacuum tightness of welded joints at the level of the parent metal. Performing EBW in conditions of ultrahigh vacuum, low gravity, and low temperatures is complicated, therefore, the quality of welded joints may decrease. The obtained results of the experiments conducted under conditions of low gravity and low temperatures in space, as well as in the flying laboratory, showed an increased number of pores in the welds. First of all, this phenomenon was detected in the welding of samples made of aluminum alloys. They are widely used in creating space structures, which does not exclude the possibility of their application in the manufacture of welded structures on the Moon’s surface. The aim of this work is the studying the regularities of porosity formation in the metal of the welded joints made of aluminum alloys in EBW under low gravity by qualitative analysis of the main factors that determine the increased susceptibility to the formation of discontinuities of this type.","PeriodicalId":42936,"journal":{"name":"Space Science and Technology-Kosmicna Nauka i Tehnologia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48851483","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is supposed the CVS measures the distance and attitude of the so-called graphical reference frame rigidly fixed on the NSC. The parameters of relative motion include the distance vector to the center of mass (c.m.) of the NSC, the attitude quaternion of the principal inertia axes of the NSC relative to the CVS reference frame, the attitude quaternion of the graphical reference frame relative to the NSC principal reference frame, the ratio of the inertia moments, the position vector of the c.m. in the graphical reference frame.

Research has shown the potential of remote sensing and GIS applications for invasive species mapping and modeling, even though it is currently restricted to a small number of taxa. This article gives examples of how GIS and RSE can be used to track invasive species like Utricularia australis R. br. and Lemna aequinoctialis Welw. To describe the distribution of species, current Internet databases of species distribution and the author’s own research were used. It also talks about promising ways to find and track the spread of invasive species, like using NDVI indices, chlorophyll and xanthophyll content to find changes in regional biodiversity, some problems with finding changes in biodiversity in agricultural landscapes, and mapping invasion risk. The study also demonstrates how GIS technology may be used to identify agricultural landscape biodiversity using radiometric space data from Sentinel 1, followed by a verification of the findings.

These modes are the solutions of the system of hydrodynamic equations for small atmospheric disturbances under the assumption that one of the quantities (horizontal or vertical components of particle velocity, density fluctuations, or temperature) is equal to zero. Three of the four specific modes (the Lamb wave, the Brunt-Väisälä oscillation, and the f-mode) are well known, but they were previously obtained as independent solutions. The recent discovery by the authors of the evanescent γ-mode made it possible to show that all four specified modes form a certain family of special modes of the isothermal atmosphere. On the spectral diagram of the frequency and the wave vector, there are four dispersion curves of these special modes in which one of the perturbed quantities is equal to zero. These curves belong to the evanescent region of the acoustic-gravity wave spectrum. They intersect each other at five points. It is shown that the specific modes cannot interact at the intersection points. The polarization ratios between two perturbed quantities have a different sign on either side of a particular curve if one of the quantities on this curve is zero. These properties can be used as indicators of the specific modes in experimental studies of the evanescent spectrum of AGWs. By using polarization relations, the possibility of observing these modes in the Earth’s atmosphere and on the Sun is also analyzed.","PeriodicalId":42936,"journal":{"name":"Space Science and Technology-Kosmicna Nauka i Tehnologia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49596808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After the phase of activation of autophagy, its regulatory weakening occurs, which probably indicates adaptive changes to the conditions of clinostating. The induction of autophagy correlates with an increase in the expression levels of atg8 genes, some of which (atg8e and atg8i) may be involved in the implementation of autophagy under the simulated microgravity conditions. The transcriptional activity of cytoskeleton genes involved in the implementation of stress-induced autophagy, in particular α- and β-tubulin genes, was analyzed. Joint expression of α- and β-tubulin genes and atg8 under the simulated microgravity conditions was revealed. These results illustrate the role of the cytoskeleton in the development of microgravity-induced autophagy and make it possible to identify genes specific to this type of stress. The induction of autophagy and PСD was studied under the action of gamma irradiation as a concomitant factor of space flights, as well as under the combined action of acute irradiation and clinostating. Gamma irradiation in doses equivalent to those in the spacecraft cabin (1 - 6 Gy) induced dose-dependent changes in the topology and cytogenetic state of the root apical meristem, as well as slightly inhibited of the early plant development. In the meristem, heterogeneity increased, PCD indexes, mainly proliferative death and autophagy, increased. With the combined action of gamma irradiation (2 Gy) and clinostating, the density of autophagosomes in the epidermal cell root apices of 6-day-old seedlings increased (24 hours after irradiation), and after 4 days it decreased, compared to the non-irradiated control.","PeriodicalId":42936,"journal":{"name":"Space Science and Technology-Kosmicna Nauka i Tehnologia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67117928","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
