Problem statement. According to the special theory of relativity, all physical processes are slower than stationary processes should be as measured in the laboratory frame of reference. The effect of time dilation, along with gravitational deceleration, is taken into account in global satellite navigation systems, such as GPS. Controlling the clock rate should also be possible if we assume the existence of certain topological features of the universal space-time continuum. The results of experiments to measure the detection time of a neutrino burst by detectors of neutrinos and gravitational waves may be explained assuming that the space of the terrestrial observer has anisotropic properties.

Purpose. To consider the possibility of controlling the rate of physical processes in an anisotropic space.

Results. It is shown that in a space-time continuum with dipole anisotropy, or when a spacecraft moves at a relativistic speed with respect to the cosmic microwave background, not only dilation may be experienced but also acceleration of clock rate in cyclically moving clocks or acceleration of physical processes. Efficient operation of the machine may be assured by moving at a constant speed along a closed trajectory, for example, an elliptical one.

Practical significance. During long space flights, when the crew and on-board equipment are in a time-dilated state, it should be possible to accelerate the operation rates for the equipment which moves cyclically along the spacecraft velocity vector with respect to the CMB radiation.
