DEF

[A beam mode] which covers a 100 x 100 km area, [and which] has seven beam positions.

CONT

Standard Beam Modes ... allow imaging over a wide range of incidence angles acquired in seven different modes referred to as S1 to S7. The incidence angles range from 20° at the inner edge of S1, to 49° at the outer edge of S7.

OBS

standard beam mode: term officially approved by the RADARSAT-2 Terminology Approval Group (RTAG).

DEF

Mode qui couvre une zone de 100 x 100 km et qui a sept positions de faisceau.

CONT

Le mode [...] standard permet l'acquisition d'images sur une grande gamme d'angles d'incidence acquis avec 7 modes différents, de S1 à S7. Les angles d'incidence varient entre 20° à la limite interne du faisceau S1, à 49° à la limite externe du faisceau S7. L'expérience acquise avec RADARSAT-1 a démontré que le mode standard génère des images qui offrent un bon compromis entre la résolution spatiale, la résolution radiométrique et le taux de couverture. Ce type de faisceau sera disponible en co-polarisation, en polarisation croisée, en double-polarisation ou en mode polarimétrique.

OBS

mode faisceau standard : terme uniformisé par le Groupe de travail de la terminologie de RADARSAT-2 (GTTR).

Record 2 2001-07-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Orbital Stations
CONT

The standard mode represents the core operations of the ISS [International Space Station], and both internal and external user payload operations are supported. ... The focus of the standard and microgravity modes is to control the core systems in order to maintain stable conditions for user payloads. These modes are dedicated to providing an environment for long-term uninterrupted payload operations.

OBS

Mode changes are usually controlled by the ground controller or by on-orbit crew input commands, but the transition to survival mode may be automatically initiated by the ISS [International Space Station].

OBS

standard mode: term officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).

French
