Context . Observations of meteors in the Earth’s atmosphere offer a unique tool for determining flux meteoroids that are too small to be detected by direct telescopic observations. Although these objects routinely observed from ground-based facilities, such as meteor and fireball networks, space-based instruments come with notable advantages have potential achieve broad uniform exposure. Aims In this paper, we describe first observations events Mini-EUSO, very wide field-of-view telescope...
In this work we present cutting-edge machine learning based techniques for the detection and reconstruction of meteors space debris in Mini-EUSO experiment, a detector installed on board International Space Station (ISS), pointing towards Earth. We base our approach recent technique, Stack-CNN, originally developed as an online trigger orbiting remediation system to detect debris. Our proposed method, Refined Stack-CNN (R-Stack- CNN), makes STACK-CNN more robust thanks Random Forest (RF)...
EUSO-TA is a ground-based fluorescence telescope built to validate the design of ultra-high energy cosmic ray detectors be operated in space with technology developed within Joint Exploratory Missions for Extreme Universe Space Observatory (JEM-EUSO) program. It operates at Telescope Array (TA) site Utah, USA. With an external trigger provided by Black Rock Mesa experiment, we observed air-showers from rays, as well laser events Central Laser Facility TA and portable lasers like JEM-EUSO...

DIMS (Dark matter and Interstellar Meteoroid Study) is a new experiment aiming to search for macroscopic dark matters interstellar meteoroids. Nuclearites are nuggets of stable strange quark matter(SQM), neutral in charge hypothetical super-heavy particles (macros), may be important components the our Universe. galactic origins would have an expected typical velocity about 250 km/s frame, whereas case head-on collision between meteoroids with that exceeds escape solar system Earth orbiting...
Higher education in Slovakia faces a number of problems. In this paper, we focus on one them - an outdated way practical teaching computer science students, because which the students do not understand enough acquired knowledge and they often fail to apply theoretical practice. This article represents description our experience with experiment have introduced modern methods project team learning into Operating Systems course taught at Technical University Kosice. After experiment, results...

Mini-EUSO is a wide-angle fluorescence telescope that registers ultraviolet (UV) radiation in the nocturnal atmosphere of Earth from International Space Station. Meteors are among multiple phenomena manifest themselves not only visible range but also UV. We present two simple artificial neural networks allow for recognizing meteor signals data with high accuracy terms binary classification problem. expect similar architectures can be effectively used signal recognition other telescopes,...

Mini-EUSO ("UV atmosphere" in Russian Space Program) will observe Earth night side atmosphere from ISS the UV band. The observed light consists mainly of produced by airglow. We investigate feasibility to airglow dynamics detector. investigation focuses on observability two effects. One is magnetic storms light, where we expect decreasing production during storms. other possibility detect patterns created atmospheric gravity waves induced tsunami waves.
EUSO-SPB1 was a balloon-borne pathfinder mission of the JEM-EUSO (Joint Experiment Missions for Extreme Universe Space Observatory) program. A 12-day long balloon flight started from New Zealand on April 25th, 2017 NASA's Super Pressure Balloon. With capability detecting EeV energy air showers, data acquisition performed using 1 m^2 two-Fresnel-lens UV-sensitive telescope with fast readout electronics in shower detection mode over ~30 hours at ~16--30 km above South Pacific. Using variety...
The main goal of Extreme Universe Space Observatory on a Super Pressure Balloon (EUSO-SPB1) was to observe from above extensive air showers caused by ultra-high energy cosmic rays. EUSO-SPB1 uses fluorescence detector that observes the atmosphere in nadir observation mode near space altitude. During 12-day flight, an onboard first level trigger detected more than 175 000 candidate events. This paper presents approach recognize this dataset. feature extraction method create simpler...
В данных орбитального многоканального детектора «УФ атмосфера» (Mini-EUSO) на сегодняшний день надежно идентифицировано более трех десятков суб-миллисекундных событий типа ELVES («эльфы»), являющихся следствием взаимодействия фронта электромагнитного импульса от грозового разряда и нижнего слоя ионосферы.

The nature of dark matter has been the subject ongoing investigation in fields such as particle physics, cosmology, and astrophysics. One hypothetical form is nuggets strange quark matter, also known nuclearites. They are characterized by a macroscopic mass with high density. These nuclearites believed to be bound our galaxy move at similar speed approximately 250 km s −1 , which comparable galactic rotation near Solar System. More commonly, particles now referred “macros”. can potentially...
