Continuous UTC: Preliminary Steps in Russian State Service for Time and Frequency - (ppt)

摘要

It is with deep sorrow that we inform you that Nikolay Koshelyaevsky passed away on 20.11.2020 after a serious and incurable illness. Nikolay came to work at our institute in 1970. The area of his activity was very wide - from the development of frequency standards to the creation of algorithms for the formation of National time scales of TA (SU) and UTC(SU). Under his leadership and direct participation, the National coordinated time scale UTC(SU) of the Russian Federation entered the number of the best time scales in the world. He actively represented the interests of Russia in International organizations: he was a member of the BIPM working groups, a member of the International Astronomical Union, the Telecommunication Union, the chairman of the time and frequency committee COOMET, etc. He was also a brilliant popularizer of the science of time, speaking regularly in the front of various audiences, in the media, on television. This is a heavy loss for us. The good memory of Nikolay Koshelyaevsky will forever remain in our hearts.
