The geomagnetic field varies in time and space, being a signal composed of periodic and non-periodic elements and is monitored in a tri-axial system within the geomagnetic observatories of the INTERMAGNET network across the planet. In the work, based on these data, we use for spectral evaluation (Fourier, wavelet, signal decompositions in approximations and details with various functions on different levels, etc.) in order to analyze different geomagnetic phenomena (such as: geomagnetic storms, disturbances, etc.)...

Through the complex analysis of the geomagnetic database of the Surlari Geomagnetic Observatory for over 80 years, corroborated with the data of other planetary observatories from the INTERMAGNET network, we have extracted the geomagnetic information that is correlated with the specific physical parameters of space weather domain. Space weather refers to the conditions and phenomena occurring in outer space that can influence the near-Earth space environment. This concept includes a variety of events and condition...

The study addresses a challenge in planetary exploration, focusing on landslide susceptibility on the Lunar South Pole Region (LSPR), fundamental for future lunar missions. Features like permanently shadowed regions and water ice deposits attract scientific attention but issues related to rugged terrain and dynamic geological processes must also to be considered. The photointerpretation of data from Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) mission, allowed to create a landslides inventory map. The Frequency Ratio (FR) m...

The main objectives of this study are: analysis of the associated spectrum of the geomagnetic field, time of occurrence of geomagnetic storms and comparisons between recordings made at various geomagnetic observatories in the INTERMAGNET network, in terms of frequency intensity identified and correlations during geomagnetic disturbances. A geomagnetic storm is a temporary disturbance of the Earth's magnetosphere caused by ejections of solar corona mass, coronal holes or solar flares. The data used in this paper ar...

Geomagnetic disturbances and their associated phenomena can be an important parameter as data input in climatology studies and climate change. This paper is a preamble to a deliverable "Development of a catalog on the typology of geomagnetic variations based on records from the Surlari Geomagnetic Observatory" within the Space Weather project which is part of the complex multidisciplinary project „Institutional capacities and services for research, monitoring and forecasting of risks in extra-atmospheric space” wh...

This work considers the study of libration dynamics of the planets? moons. To analysis such processes, it is necessary to use methods for investigating complex systems, as an influence from neighboring celestial bodies on spin-orbital motion of a moon should be taken into account. This fully applies to the Moon?s rotation about its axis. The construction of modern theories of the physical libration of the Moon (PLM) is based on gravimetric, seismic, satellite observations, and lunar laser ranging, which in its tur...

The Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model is widely used to forecast non-stationary time series data. In a model of ARIMA (p, d, q), AR is autoregressive, p is the number of regression terms, MA is the moving average, q is the number of moving average terms, and d is the difference time to make the data a stationary series. It can be used to forecast the trend of geomagnetic disturbances. Firstly, the non-stationary historical data xt is processed by the d difference to develop the stable histori...

The search for parent bodies of low-activity small meteor showers ? k-Cygnids, ?-Cancrids, and Virginids are performed among asteroids that could be faded comets. For k-Cygnids by all the catalogues of meteor orbits 2 asteroids are selected ? 153311 2001MG1, 385343 2002LV, whose orbits provide from 90% to 100% compliance with meteoroids? orbits of a shower. The 2012LL9 is only selected by 3 catalogues of meteor orbits. By catalogue of A...

This work focuses on the creation of a selenocentric satellite simulation navigation system (SSSNS) using a set of reference objects on the lunar surface. The latter is based on the data from the modern space missions ?LRO?, ?Clementine?, ?GRAIL? (all ? NASA, USA), ?SELENE? (JAXA, Japan), and ?SMART-1? (European Space Agency). The SSSNS was created to transform measurements taken from in-orbit satellite into the selenocentric inertial reference system. The measurements should be taken by on-board altimeter and las...

This work focuses on the use of projective geometry methods to determine star positions produced on the basis of positional observations. As is known, projective geometry studies invariant projective transformations. The main feature of projective geometry is the principle of duality, which adds elegant symmetry to many designs. While the properties of the figures that Euclidean geometry deals with are metric, but there are figures that can be converted into one another by movement while maintaining the metric pro...

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...

The aim of the present work is to develop a fractal method for space maps analysis. Although there are accurate theories of lunar motion in the dynamic coordinate system based on lunar laser ranging and space measurements with an accuracy up to multiarcseconds, analysis of various models of the lunar figure is a complicated problem. The reason for it is that the determination of a reference system for coordinate data and assessing its authenticity are difficult. In order to solve the problem, a comparative method,...

The aim of the present paper is to give a brief review of results of computer simulating observations of the lunar rotation from the lunar surface. The simulation of physical libration of the Moon using the lunar telescope was performed on the basis of multiparametric analysis. High expectations in terms of obtaining accurate data on physical libration of the Moon are linked with SELENE Japanese project. The project implies an installation of the optical telescope at one of the Poles of the Moon. The observation o...

Maintaining health and physical condition of astronauts during long-duration space missions requires measures to prevent microgravity effects. At present, such measures consist in practicing certain physical exercises, in using elastic suites, as well as in special medication. However, the efficiency of these solutions is limited. An alternative approach, technologically more difficult, but considerably more efficient, consists in producing a state of artificial gravity in the module inhabited by the crew. Such a ...

The present paper focuses on describing the method of bringing dynamic space images of various celestial objects to the uniform reference system. This approach is designed to analyze coordinate and time parameters of cosmic bodies in various phase spaces.Based on this method, images of the Moon and stellar areas obtained with CCDmatrixes were studied. As a result, reducing the images to the single system achieved the accuracy between 0.05 and 0.11 arc seconds by declination and between 0.04 and 0.13 arc seconds by...

Long-duration human space flights involved by interplanetary journeys or space station missions expose the crews to effects of weightlessness. Such effects, consisting in loss of bone density, skeletal muscle atrophy, cardiovascular deconditioning etc., can raise significant risks on the health of the astronauts and for their capacity to accomplish the missions. Therefore, a large number of studies were dedicated to solutions for creating artificial gravity. The paper studies dynamic effects produced in a tethered...

The aim of this article is to study astronomical refraction anomalies. Back in 1925 Grachev and Banahevich found systematic errors in meridian observations depending on zenithal distance. Grachev suggested that these refraction anomalies arise from the inclination of the Earth's surface to the South. The airstratas of the same density were considered as parallel to the Earth's surface. But the analysis of latitude observations from the Bamberg and ZTL-180 telescopes showed there were significant systematic errors ...

The present work is focusing on construction and analysis of 5 lunar models using space and ground observations. Firstly, it should be noted that the task of building a model of the lunar macro-figure relative to its center of mass and axes of inertia does not have a definitive solution yet. Within the present work the models of the lunar macro-figure are developed on the basis of space and ground observations. The methods of observation had implied binding of lunar objects to stars, i.e. celestial coordinate syst...
