Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT

The composition of air is variable with respect to several of its components(e. g., CH₄, CO₂, H₂O) so "pure" air has no precise meaning; it is commonly considered to be air which is free of dust, [hydrometeors, ] aerosols, and reactive gaseous contaminants of anthropogenic origin [such as industrial effluents].... Relative clean air which is free of most reactive anthropogenic pollution(NO, NO₂, SO₂, non-methane hydrocarbons, etc.), often used as a reference sample in the calibration and operation of instruments, is purchased under the designation of zero air.  4, record 1, English, - pure%20air

Instrument calibration is intended to eliminate or reduce bias in an instrument's readings over a range for all continuous values. For this purpose, reference standards with known values for selected points covering the range of interest are measured with the instrument in question. Then a functional relationship is established between the values of the standards and the corresponding measurements.  1, record 2, English, - instrument%20calibration

Calibration of instruments.-Calibration can be called for : with a new instrument; when a specified time period is elapsed; when a specified usage(operating hours) has elapsed; when an instrument has had a shock or vibration which potentially may have put it out of calibration; whenever observations appear questionable. In non-specialized use, calibration is often regarded as including the process of adjusting the output or indication on a measurement instrument to agree with value of the applied standard, within a specified accuracy.  3, record 2, English, - instrument%20calibration

The SEM subsystem consists of four instruments used for in situ measurements and monitoring of the near-earth(geostationary altitude) space environment and for observing the solar X-ray output. An energetic particles sensor(EPS) and high energy proton and alpha detector(HEPAD) monitor the incident flux density of protons, alpha particles, and electrons over an extensive range of energy levels. Solar output is monitored by an X-ray sensor(XRS) mounted on an X-ray positioning platform, fixed on the solar array yoke. Two redundant three-axis magnetometers, mounted on a deployed 3-meter boom, operate one at a time to monitor Earth's geomagnetic field strength in the vicinity of the spacecraft. The SEM instruments are capable of ground command-selectable, in-flight calibration for monitoring on-orbit performance and ensuring proper operation.  3, record 4, English, - space%2Denvironment%20monitor

The Space Environment Monitor (SEM) measures in situ the effect of the Sun on the near-earth solar-terrestrial electromagnetic environment, providing real-time data to the Space Environment Services Center (SESC). The SESC, as the nation’s "space weather" service, receives, monitors, and interprets a wide variety of solar-terrestrial data, and issues reports, alerts and forecasts for special events such as solar flares or geomagnetic storms. This information is important to the operation of military and civilian radio wave and satellite communication and navigation systems, as well as electric power networks, and to the mission of geophysical explorers, Shuttle and Space Station astronauts, high-altitude aviators, and scientific researchers.  3, record 4, English, - space%2Denvironment%20monitor

For the SAR mission, the planning is based on a direct and permanent contact with the user in order to schedule image acquisition for the right time and for over the appropriate area of the Earth. This activity is the responsibility of the ERS Central User Service. At the same time, the users of the data collected by the other instruments are also interested in global coverage and are ready to handle all the available production. The mission planning for the other instruments therefore consists of the scheduling of the instruments and the on-board recorder to take full advantage of the recorder's capacity and to protect certain geographic areas used for instrument monitoring against systematic gaps(due to the acquisition of SAR images or to gaps in the data recording), in view of instrument calibration and verification. This activity-the scheduling of the other instruments and the on-board recorder-is called background mission planning.  3, record 9, English, - background%20mission

This thesis presents a new approach for the initialization process(initial alignment and calibration) of strapdown Inertial Navigation Systems for air launched tactical missiles operating in an unaided inertial navigation mode... The initialization is treated as a training of Artificial Neural Network filter. A new methodology is developed which can handle, misalignment of Inertial Navigation System and scale factor, as well as bias errors of the measurement instruments used in Inertial Navigation System... It is shown that the optimization algorithm employed as well as Artificial Neural Network is quite suitable for Inertial Navigation System initialization. Prelaunch aircraft maneuvers measured by the Inertial Navigation System of the aircraft provide the necessary training data for the Neural Network for the missile navigation system that initializes the missile's inertial navigation system.  1, record 13, English, - inertial%20navigation%20system%20initialization
