A fundamental cosmological experiment for the artificial satellite.

Pioneer effect ” : A cosmological Foucault ’ s experiment

The reported anomalous acceleration acting on the Pioneers space-crafts could be seen as a consequence of the existence of some local curvature in light geodesics when using the coordinate speed of light in an expanding space-time. We will show that, as a matter of fact, what has been detected in the experiments is just the cosmic expansion rate-the Hubble parameter H-, a feature of light signa...

A Cosmological Experiment in Liquid Helium

ALTHOUGH the birth of the universe is inaccessible to human experimental investigation, aspects of cosmological theories can nonetheless be explored in the laboratory. Tiny inhomogeneities in the mix of particles and radiation produced in the Big Bang grew into the clusters of galaxies that we see today, but how those inhomogeneities arose and grew is still unclear. Cosmologies based on grand u...

Cosmological Variability of Fundamental Physical Constants

Testing cosmological variability of fundamental constants

One of the topical problems of contemporary physics is a possible variability of the fundamental constants. Here we consider possible variability of two dimensionless constants which are most important for calculation of atomic and molecular spectra (in particular, the X-ray ones): the fine-structure constant α = e/h̄c and the proton-toelectron mass ratio μ = mp/me. Values of the physical consta...

A Framework for Developing Artificial Intelligence for Autonomous Satellite Operations

In the world of educational satellites, student teams manually conduct operations daily. Educational satellites typically travel in a Low Earth Orbit allowing communication for approximately thirty minutes each day. Manual operations during these times is manageable for student teams as the required manpower is minimal. The international Global Educational Network for Satellite Operations (GENS...
