The next issue of the “Almanac of Modern Metrology” is 3 (23) — the third issue this year. The number highlights the problems of time-frequency, navigation, radio engineering measurements and measurements of parameters of ionizing radiation. The first section of the “Almanac” is devoted to fundamental research, issues of relativistic theory and features of a high-precision space laser gravitational-wave antenna are discussed. The section “Questions of practical metrology” contains an article on monitoring measurements during the automatic analysis of critical vessel parameters of pressure. Under the constant heading “Almanac” — “Fundamental metrological assessments” — are the luminaries, whose anniversaries this year is being celebrated by the metrological community.
