Fairly complete and adequate models of generation and propagation of disturbances, which are caused by launches and maneuvering system thruster firings of large rockets in the Earth–atmosphere–ionosphere–magnetosphere (EAIM) system, are absent at present. It turns out a number of physical effects during ionospheric storms and rocket launches are similar. Therefore, the presence of ionospheric storm significantly complicates the search for the ionospheric response to the spacecraft launches. The aim of this study is to describe the results of observation of the ionospheric processes that accompanied rocket launches and maneuvering system thruster firings against the background of ionospheric storms. To analyze the measurements, observational data of the state of the ionosphere before, at the time, and after Soyuz and Proton rocket launches from the Baikonur cosmodrome (the Republic of Kazakhstan) were used. Observations were made at the Radiophysical Observatory of V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University (near Kharkiv city, Ukraine). The Doppler vertical sounding radar was used for the measurements. Observations were made during solar cycle 24 (2009—2021). The number of the Soyuz rocket launches is 81, and 53 launches of the Proton rocket. Identification of the ionospheric response to the launch and maneuvering system thruster firings of a large rocket 2000 km away from the observation site against the background of a geospace storm by the Doppler method is usually possible at Kpmax   5, and at its larger values is very complicated or even impossible. In a number of cases, even though Kpmax = 4 the determination of the ionospheric response is complicated. To increase the detection reliability of the response to the launch and maneuvering system thruster firings of the rocket, the Doppler radar has to operate on a number of frequencies in the frequency range from 1.5...2 to 4…6 MHz. The existence of several groups of horizontal apparent speeds of disturbance propagation is confirmed: 1.7...3 km and more, 700...1000, 300...700, 150...260 m/s.","PeriodicalId":42936,"journal":{"name":"Space Science and Technology-Kosmicna Nauka i Tehnologia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67117250","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 latter includes radiation, sound vibrations, noise, and so on. These and other factors disrupt the optimal conditions of the air, which negatively affects human health and the condition and development of animals and plants. The main sources of pollutants in the air of Lviv are as follows: dust — vehicles, woodworking and building materials industry; sulfur dioxide — industrial enterprises, carbon monoxide — vehicles, thermal power plants; nitrogen dioxide — heat power companies; formaldehyde — motor transport, woodworking industry. Today, emissions from mobile sources are the biggest air pollutants in the city. The chemical composition of emissions from mobile sources of pollution is characterized by the predominance of carbon monoxide (up to 74 %), nitrogen compounds, and hydrocarbons (12 % and 11 %, respectively). Today the state of atmospheric air in large cities of Ukraine and, in particular, in the city of Lviv is at an unsatisfactory level. The main problems in this area are the progressive nature of the negative impact on the ecological state of the environment and human health. As there is currently no interactive cartographic material that can visualize the problem of environmental pollution, the main purpose of this work was to create an interactive web map of the quality of life of the population of Lviv in terms of air pollution. To achieve this goal, we collected and systematized geospatial statistical cartographic materials on the ecological conditions of the air in Lviv. The necessary software for the development of an interactive map of air pollution has been selected, and its possibilities have been studied. An algorithm for loading geospatial data into the created web resource has been developed. A template of applications for creating web maps of air pollution in Lviv was selected according to the indicators of 2020, which were measured at 30 crossroads of the city. Thus, two interactive web maps of air pollution in Lviv were developed in the environment «Google My Maps» and «ArcGIS Online».","PeriodicalId":42936,"journal":{"name":"Space Science and Technology-Kosmicna Nauka i Tehnologia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67117286","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}

Antennas with signal polarization processing, which is performed by polarizers, are the fundamental elements of such systems. Therefore, the development of methods for the analysis of new polarizers is an important problem. From a technological point of view, polarizers based on waveguides with irises are the simplest. Analysis and optimization of electromagnetic characteristics of a polarizer based on a square waveguide with irises are the goals of the presented research. To solve this optimization problem, we have created a new mathematical model, which allows investigating the influence of the design parameters of the polarizer on its electromagnetic characteristics. A mathematical model of the waveguide polarizer with irises was created by the method of decomposition using wave transmission and scattering matrices. Besides, the new mathematical model takes into account the thickness of the irises using their equivalent T- and П-shaped substitution circuits. The general wave scattering matrix is the basis of a new mathematical model of a waveguide polarizer. This matrix was determined using the theory of microwave circuits. The main characteristics of the waveguide polarizer were determined through the elements of this matrix. Here, we perform the optimization of the polarizer characteristics in the Ku-band 10.7–12.8 GHz. The developed new mathematical model of a waveguide polarizer with irises makes it possible to take into account the heights of the irises, distances between them and their thickness. The new mathematical model determines the electromagnetic characteristics of the polarizer in a simpler and faster way compared to the finite integration technique, which is often used for the analysis of microwave devices for various purposes","PeriodicalId":42936,"journal":{"name":"Space Science and Technology-Kosmicna Nauka i Tehnologia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67117240","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 method is based on the application of filtering in the field of spatial frequencies using fast Fourier transform and spectral masks. The parameters of the mask are determined by a known spatial period of interference or experimentally by the results of the filtration. To filter the area of spatial frequencies to be removed, a filtering mask is applied, consisting of pixels with zero values. Periodic components whose spatial period corresponds to the spatial frequencies filtered on the Fourier image will be removed from the filtered image. The quality of filtration is determined by the mask used. When using multispectral images, a filter mask based on the Fourier image of one of the spectral channels is applied to filter other channels. The results of visual analysis of the processed images showed a fairly high-quality correction and elimination of instrumental distortions of the ETM + scanner in comparison with other methods. The main advantages of the proposed method are the next: the ability to work without the use of metadata and masks of instrumental distortion; work with single-channel and multispectral images; ability to work with small fragments of the scene; minimum number of manual settings for processing procedures; possibility to work without additional pictures for other dates; high stability of the used algorithms when using images from different satellites; fairly good repeatability of the results on satellite images taken in different seasons and for different areas. Experimental testing of the proposed method on a large number of images also confirmed the good repeatability and high stability of the algorithms used.

The paper deals with the research of technological parameters of the most common practical method of molding products made of polymeric composite materials, pre-formed of prepregs. The mathematical model of filling with a binder of inter-fiber space of the reinforcing material for the polymeric composite material with the varying fiber packing densities, from quadratic to hexagonal one, depending on the type of reinforcing material, has been further developed. A new method for optimization of the pressure and time of composite products’ molding at the temperature of the minimum binder viscosity has been developed. The method is implemented by analytical dependencies, which establish the optimal time intervals and pressure of molding on the section of the temperature and time diagram, associated with the ability of the operating equipment (oven, autoclave) to provide the maximum possible rate of temperature rise in order to “soften” the binder in prepreg to its minimum viscosity. It is shown that energy consumption for the re-formation of the tetragonal structure of the polymeric composite material into hexagonal one is ten times higher than the costs for the tetragonal structure formation. For example, re-formation of the tetragonal structure at volume content of the binder of 0.4 into dense hexagonal structure requires 66.7 times increase in pressure. Obtained results allow establishing the economically feasible level of pressure and time of composite products’ molding while ensuring their specified quality.","PeriodicalId":42936,"journal":{"name":"Space Science and Technology-Kosmicna Nauka i Tehnologia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48044922","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}

Characteristics of plasticity and strength of 2219 alloy welded joints are as follows: in the longitudinal (D) direction – yield strength of the welded joint is (301–317) MPa, of the base metal (295—297) MPa, strength limit of the welded joint (409–415) MPa, of the base metal (422–425) MPa, elongation is (4.0–5.8)% and (17.6–19.1)%, respectively; in the transverse (P) direction – the yield strength of the welded joint is (309–331) MPa, of the base metal (304–307) MPa, the yield strength of the welded joint (392–414) MPa, of the base metal (428–433) MPa, elongation is (2.1–3.3)% and (12.6–15.0)%, respectively. The strength coefficient of welded joints in the longitudinal direction is 0.96, in the transverse – 0.94. Welded joints in the above environment are resistant to corrosion cracking and intergranular corrosion, resistance against exfoliating corrosion is evaluated by grade 2. Resistance of 2219 alloy in T62 state in amyl corresponds to the resistance group «stable», in amyl vapors – the group “highly resistant”. After aging in amyl and amyl vapors, the strength grades of the base metal samples and welded joints in both directions are almost unchanged, the plasticity parameters change ambiguously: the yield strength of the base metal increases by ~ (5–6)%, of welded joints decreases by ~ (6–7)%, the relative elongation of the base metal is reduced by ~ (5–16)%, of welded joints by about ~ 20 %. Independently of the direction of welding relative to metal’s rolling, samples’ fractures are mostly viscous. After the exposing in amyl, the coefficient of the strength of welded joints in the longitudinal and transverse directions is the same and equal to 0.91, after the influence of amyl vapors, it is 0.95 in the longitudinal direction and 0.96 in the transverse direction.","PeriodicalId":42936,"journal":{"name":"Space Science and Technology-Kosmicna Nauka i Tehnologia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48072374","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}

Climate change is acutely felt in the southern regions of Ukraine, increasing the production risk in the agricultural sector through changes in temperature, precipitation, and other extreme weather events. Historical climatic data indicate an increase in temperature on the territory of Ukraine, and climate forecasts suggest further warming, especially in the south of Ukraine. Using satellite and statistical data, changes in the earth’s surface are investigated for certain areas, which are characterized by the greatest changes in crop areas for the main types of crops. To analyze the dynamics of cultivated areas in relation to climatic zones, we used national statistical data for 1998—2019, maps of the classification of land cover from 2016—2020, data on climatic zones on the territory of Ukraine for 2000 and 2020, as well as the contours of administrative units of the NUTS2 level. Since statistical data for many districts are not available for the period 2019—2020 due to the reform of territorial boundaries, we used instead cultivated areas obtained from open satellite records. As additional and alternative information for the analysis of acreage, crop classification maps for 2016—2020 were used, obtained by specialists of the Space Research Institute of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine and the State Space Agency of Ukraine from their own in-depth training technologies.
