The 11th issue of the “Almanac of Modern Metrology” is devoted to the fiftieth anniversary of the approval of the standard of time and frequency and its registration in the State Register of Standards under №1. This is an epoch-making event that opened the era of the calculus of atomic time in the country.
“Almanac” keeps a close watch on all the main stages of the standard “work”, its research, content, modernization, that allow raising accuracy of frequency and time units, transmission of precise time to the consumers.
Once again, standard of our country joined the ranks of the world’s best standards.
Special attention is given to the latest decade of MSFT development, its achievements in the new century.
