Record 4 2007-01-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Remote Sensing
DEF

[A] type of hyperspectral sensor [that] uses a line of detectors [to scan] over a two dimensional scene.

CONT

The push-broom sensor is the size of a cigar box. From the air, the device can capture spectra reflected between 430 and 900 nm. In flight, it digitally collects 26 to 33 bands of data with a cross-track pixel count proportional to flight height : 1000-m altitude provides 1-m cross-track pixel, 2000-m altitude provides 2-m cross-track pixel, etc.

OBS

push-broom sensor: term officially approved by the RADARSAT-2 Terminology Approval Group (RTAG).

Domaine(s)
  • Télédétection
DEF

Capteur dont le détecteur est constitué par de nombreuses cellules détectrices alignées qui reçoivent simultanément l'énergie radiative en provenance de la scène.

OBS

Le mode en peigne («push push broom mode») est le dispositif de fonctionnement d'une barrette linéaire de détecteurs à transfert de change (D.T.C.) qui assure l'exploration transversale de la scène sous scannage, par des procédés électroniques.

Record 5 2004-07-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Spacecraft
DEF

A device which makes use of a planet’s magnetic field to stabilise a satellite.

CONT

The angular momentum of a tumbling orbiting satellite is changed to reduce the spinning of the spacecraft such that the spacecraft can operate in an essentially stabilized condition. The change in spin rate is accomplished by the development of a magnetic torque by commutation of magnetic air coils in response to Earth sensor signals controlled by spacecraft logic. The coils are disposed to produce magnetic dipoles transverse to the satellite spin axis such that by interacting with the Earth's magnetic field a torque is developed in a direction opposite the spin vector. The logic selects the proper magnetic dipole based upon data from sensors detecting the presence of the Earth for the development of the desired magnetic torque.

OBS

magnetotorquer: term officially approved by the RADARSAT-2 Terminology Approval Group (ROAG).

Record 6 2002-06-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Weather Stations and Meteorological Instruments and Equipment
DEF

Measurement of one or more upper-air meteorological elements by means of rocket-borne instruments.

CONT

Most meteorological rocket observations, also known as rocket soundings, are made from a rocketsonde probe that typically contains a temperature sensor. Other thermodynamic variables such as air pressure and density can be computed from the collected temperature data using appropriate thermodynamic equations or measured by use of special on-board pressure and density gauges.

Subject field(s)
  • Flight Instruments and Equipment (Aeroindustry)
CONT

Air data sensor. At the Hanover air show, Badin-Crouzet announced the production of a new pitot static sensor, known as the 50500. This takes the form of a mobile delta-shaped vane which combines the functions of a pitot tube, a static pressure port and an angle-of-attack sensor. Pressure ports on the vane provide Pitot and static pressures, both of which are automatically compensated for in angle of attack. Differential pressure ports permit correction of the residual alignment error of the vane. Pressure sensors associated with a microprocessor inside the probe itself are used to compute this error in order to obtain accurate angle-of-attack information, which is supplied in either digital or analog form.
