№ 1 (21) 2020

The current number of the “Al’manac of Modern Metrology” (No. 1 (21) 2020) is the first issue of this year — the anniversary one. February 18, 2020 marks the 65th anniversary from the date of the VNIIFTRI foundation. The scientific and technical journal of the institute could not ignore this date, given the importance of the event and special edition (“al-manakh” — in Arabic means “calendar”).
Most of the articles of the edition, in one way or another, are connected with the results of the sixty-five-year development path of the institute, starting with the introduction of the editor-in-chief and ending with articles covering problematic issues in the field of a number of scientific areas — radio engineering, time-frequency, navigation, physico-chemical and other measurements.
The regular column of the “Al’manac” also has a jubilee profile “The founders of metrological directions”. Among the luminaries presented here, there are those who celebrate the centenary after the birth this year.
