Groupe des crimes graves : Bien que ce nom soit tiré du «Manuel d'administration» de la Gendarmerie royale du Canada, «Groupe des crimes majeurs» est préférable, car «crime grave» est plutôt l'équivalent de «serious crime».

Record 3 2003-10-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Flight Instruments and Equipment (Aeroindustry)
  • Launching and Space Maneuvering
DEF

A torque-generating mechanism that incorporates a single- or double- gimbaled spinning wheel.

CONT

The next generation of "agile" observation satellites will probably be controlled by high dynamic torque actuators called gyrodynes. The gyrodyne uses the principle of the gyroscope to exert a force on a satellite, to change its attitude. The gyrodyne consists of a top spinning around a tilt axis.

CONT

A CMG (control moment gyro) is an actuator consisting of a spinner with a sustained kinetic moment modulus h and one or two motor-driven tilt axes. One-axis CMGs are used to generate very high dynamic moments. The produced gyroscopic torque is proportional to h and to the precession rate (i.e. tilting rate).

OBS

control moment gyroscope; gyrodyne; CMG: terms and abbreviation officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).

CONT

Les actionneurs gyroscopiques également appelés gyrodynes (CMG : Control Moment Gyro) constituent un nouveau système d'actionneurs qui permettent de générer des couples dynamiques de commande de basculement d'attitude d'un satellite. Ces couples de nature gyroscopique sont produits par une commande des vitesses de précession d'une famille de toupies gyroscopiques montées sur le véhicule.

CONT

Les gyrodynes : une technologie prometteuse pour la commande d'attitude des satellites. Également appelé actionneur gyroscopique, le gyrodyne est une commande d'attitude utilisant des actionneurs à fort couple dynamique.

CONT

La prochaine génération de satellites d'observation, appelés satellites agiles, sera probablement commandée par des actionneurs à fort couple dynamique : les gyrodynes. Fonctionnant sur le principe des gyroscopes, ils peuvent agir sur les satellites et les orienter dans une attitude donnée. Les gyrodynes sont constitués d'une toupie en rotation rapide entretenue autour d'un axe propre, la commande permettant de faire tourner ce dernier autour d'un axe de précession, ou de basculement [...]

Subject field(s)
  • Various Proper Names
OBS

Played on a colourful hand-painted world map the size of a basketball court, the Global Change Game is a fast-paced, challenging learning activity which channels participants' energy and creativity into exploring the major global problems of our time. The Global Change Game is a world issues simulation game which teaches about international development, international relations, global environmental issues, and the links between environment, society, and economy. Each participant becomes one hundred million people determining the future of their region of the world through social, economic and environmental decision-making and interactions with other regions. While minutes tick by for the players, years pass in the Game as it travels several decades into the future. Participants are encouraged to show imagination in their quest for global solutions as they learn about the long-term results of their decisions.
