Record 1 2022-02-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Defence Planning and Military Doctrine
  • Air Forces
DEF

... the development and maintenance of a comprehensive knowledge of the location and nature of objects in Earth orbit.

CONT

Space domain awareness contributes to a safer and more secure space environment by increasing awareness of where objects are located in space, thereby reducing the risk of loss of critical space capabilities for all.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Doctrine militaire et planification de défense
  • Forces aériennes
CONT

La connaissance du domaine spatial contribue à un milieu spatial plus sûr et plus sûr en faisant mieux connaître l'emplacement des objets dans l'espace, ce qui réduit le risque de perte de capacités spatiales essentielles pour tous.

Subject field(s)
  • Titles of Federal Government Programs (Canadian)
  • Range Measurements (Telecommunications)
  • Remote Sensing
OBS

[The] Canadian Interferometric Mission [is] devoted to [the study of] cryospheric applications. Several sites were chosen for their landform changes, surface instability and geoscience. Interferometric data collections were made possible thanks to the improved orbit maintenance by CSA over several RADARSAT-1 cycles. The study of ice-covered and permafrost regions of the world is expected to help in better understanding global climate change and in provoking remedial actions.

Subject field(s)

The second and third Materials Science Research Rack(MSRR-2 and MSRR-3) configurations will be derived from ongoing science reference experiment and follow-on rack architectural and accommodation tradeoff studies. The rack designs will optimize flexibility for on-orbit maintenance and change out of key components. The MSRR-2 will be designed to accommodate the focus of currently planned and foreseeable materials science investigations through the use of a variety of on-orbit replaceable, investigation class EMs.

CONT

The initial MSRF concept is three Materials Science Research Racks(MSRR-1, MSRR-2, MSRR-3) which will developed for a phased deployment beginning on UF-3 in September, 2001. Concepts for the required Experiment Modules which satisfy the goals and objectives of the Materials Science program, are being developed. It is anticipated that the useful life of each rack will be from a minimum of five(5) to up to ten(10) years. The operational life of the Experiment Modules(EM) is planned for a minimum of five(5) years. The Ems will be designed to be serviceable and maintainable on orbit for their operational duration to satisfy the peer-selected scientific flight investigations. Flexibility is to be included in the design for ORU [Orbital Replaceable Unit] replacement of key components in order to extend useful life. The Experiment Modules for each rack will be designed to be "smart" furnaces with the avionics packages designed to support each investigation. The Experiment Modules for MSRR-2 and MSRR-3 will be designed with optimum flexibility to support on-orbit maintenance and change out of key components.

The following hardware supports the OSCA [ORU Simulator and Carrier Assembly] during launch, landing and on-orbit operations: ... The CHIA [Cargo Handling Interface Assembly] interface plate assembly (CIPA) represents the ORU-unique attachment point to the common cargo subcarrier.

OBS

The CHIA is an external support equipment which provides interfaces between the cargo items and the ULC [Unpressurized Logistic Carrier] in orbit, during the assembly and maintenance operations of the ISS [International Space Station]. Its basic design will interface plates or boxes where cargo items can be accommodated. The CHIAs will provide heating as well as a data bus to verify that the cargo items are in operational conditions and within their safety margins. Brazil will supply a series of CHIAs in quantities and shapes to be defined. They will be fully compatible with external robotics operations(EVR) and with the crew's external vehicular activities(EVA).
