Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
La notion de charge utile varie selon les points de vue; ainsi ce terme peut s'appliquer à un satellite par rapport au lanceur qui le porte, ou bien au bloc expérimental embarqué sur un satellite par rapport à ce satellite. Dans un engin spatial d'observation ou de sondage, la charge utile comporte généralement plusieurs instruments. 2, record 1, French, - charge%20utile
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
D'un point de vue budgétaire, la charge utile comprend l'équipage d'un véhicule spatial habité. Lorsqu'il s'agit d'un véhicule non habité, le terme désigne alors l'ensemble des équipements nécessaires au fonctionnement du véhicule et de la charge utile elle-même, c'est-à-dire les sous-systèmes du module de service. 3, record 1, French, - charge%20utile
