The effect of gravity is due to the dynamic effect of non-baryonic matter on baryonic astronomical bodies of large masses (planets and stars). In article a number of experimental facts will be presented that cannot be explained from the standpoint of Newton's law of gravity and the of general relativity of Einstein, but can be explained within the framework of the production of gravity in the model the non-baryonic matter (represented by the analogies of the superfluid ³He-B) which is 95% of the matter in the universe, where the baryon masses constitute the remaining 5%. Keywords: dark matter; quantum vacuum; oscillator; gravitational funnel. INTRODUCTION In his writings, Isaac Newton admitted that he who refuse to tie the gravitational field with the could not explain the cause of the gravitational geometry of space-time. The field concept of effect and the mechanism of the instantaneous gravity [2] makes it possible to describe action of gravitational forces between localized gravitational interactions of bodies similarly to and remotely bodies. Newton introduced even electric and magnetic interaction and does not the concept of "action-at-adistance", implying contradict other experimentally grounded direct pairing without intermediaries in an approaches in describing the phenomenon of empty universe. If the transfer of gravitational gravitation and inertia, in particular, to certain attraction occurred at a finite speed , as is models involving a quantum vacuum (dark customary in the field theory of short-range matter).

  • Secondary Resonances Due to the Solar Radiation Pressure in the Vicinity of the Global Navigation Satellites Regions
    DOI: 10.13009/EUCASS2019-420 8TH EUROPEAN CONFERENCE FOR AERONAUTICS AND SPACE SCIENCES (EUCASS) Secondary resonances due to the solar radiation pressure in the vicinity of the global navigation satellites regions Eduard Kuznetsov, Vladislav Gusev and Ivan Malyutin Ural Federal University Lenina Avenue, 51, Yekaterinburg, Russia 620000, [email protected] Abstract The secondary resonances due to solar radiation pressure are investigated in the vicinity of orbits of the global navigation systems GLONASS (main resonance is 8:17), GPS (main resonance is 1:2), BeiDou (main resonance is 7:13), and Galileo (main resonance is 10:17). The secondary resonances were considered for both the main resonances and the sub-resonances i- and e-types. The secondary resonances locations were estimated analytically and were improved by numerically. The secondary resonance zones were found for both low (0.02, 0.2, and 1 m2/kg) and high (10 m2/kg and more) area- to-mass ratios. The secondary resonances have a significant effect on the dynamical evolution of objects with area-to-mass ratio 10 m2/kg and more. This result is very important when describing the long-term orbital evolution of space debris. 1. Introduction Valk et al. [1] found a relevant class of secondary resonances on both sides of the well-known pendulum-like pattern of geostationary objects. They have considered the secondary resonances due to solar radiation pressure with a resonant argument Ψ = 푘Φ ± 휆⨀. Here Φ is a resonant argument of a main resonance 1:1 and 휆⨀ is the ecliptic longitude of the Sun. The secondary resonances were detected for objects with high area-to-mass ratio γ = 10 m2/kg and more.

  • Origin and Evolution of the Moon's Procellarum KREEP
    Decadal Survey 2023 White Paper: Origin and Evolution of the Procellarum KREEP Terrane Origin and Evolution of the Moon’s Procellarum KREEP Terrane A White Paper submitted to the 2023 Planetary Science Decadal Survey, July 15, 2020 Authorship Brad Jolliff, Washington University in St. Louis, [email protected] Mark Robinson, Arizona State University, [email protected] Srinidhi Ravi, Arizona State University, [email protected] Co-signatories on the last page The Procellarum KREEP Terrane on the Moon’s nearside is a unique province that produced volcanism over an extended period of the Moon’s history. Thermal evolution of the lunar mantle in this region may have been driven by a high concentration of radiogenic heat-producing elements. This region is key to unlocking the thermal evolution of the Moon and may have implications for our understanding of extensive volcanism on other inner Solar System bodies such as Mercury and Mars. Major volcanic features of this terrane could be explored by a long-distance rover in a New Frontiers class mission to answer questions about how this planetary asymmetry formed, why volcanism was so voluminous in this region, and how it persisted for nearly 4 billion years. Introduction. The Moon displays a fundamental asymmetry that has been evident since the first images of the farside revealed an ancient, mountainous, heavily cratered feldspathic highlands but very little of the low-lying, dark basaltic plains that are prominent on the nearside, especially the western regions that incorporate Oceanus Procellarum, Imbrium, and several other nearside impact basins. Apollo orbital remote sensing revealed the first glimpses of compositional variations that corresponded to the hemispheric asymmetry, but only in narrow, near-equatorial orbital swaths.

Goossens9, Gerhard Kruizinga2, Erwan Mazarico1, Ryan S. Park2 and Dah-Ning Yuan2 Submitted to: Science 12 October 2012 Spacecraft-to-spacecraft tracking observations from the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) have been used to construct a gravitational field of the Moon to spherical harmonic degree and order 420. The GRAIL field reveals features not previously resolved, including tectonic structures, volcanic landforms, basin rings, crater central peaks, and numerous simple craters. From degrees 80 through 300, over 98% of the gravitational signature is associated with topography, which reflects the preservation of craters in highly fractured crust. The remaining 2% represents fine details of subsurface structure not previously resolved. Ghost craters in the maria are not abundant, consistent with underlying highland crust being significantly modified by dikes and intrusions. GRAIL elucidates the role of impact bombardment in homogenizing the distribution of shallow density anomalies on terrestrial planetary bodies. _____________ The Moon is a key to deciphering the evolutionary history of the terrestrial planets because it is the most accessible planetary body that preserves a surface record spanning most of solar system history. Reconstructing planetary evolution requires an understanding of the structure of the interior, which contains information on bulk composition, differentiation, and the nature of heat generation and heat loss that has influenced the style, extent, and duration of volcanism and tectonics.

Lavagna, Politecnico di Milano, Italy Abstract To fulfill the objectives of deep space missions, such as in situ measurements at an outer planet's moon or investigations at main belt asteroids, spacecraft must be provided with sufficient energy to get to these distant objects. This energy be expressed with the so-called ∆V -budget, which is the sum of required velocity changes along a spacecraft's trajectory. As today's and future deep space missions are infeasible using chemical propulsion alone, their trajectories involve one or more close flybys at mass-rich celestial bodies to gain additional orbit energy. These maneuvers are called gravity assists and depend on the relative positions of the assisting body and the respective target.
