The Attitude and Vernier Upper Module. The Vega launch vehicle is equipped with a liquid propulsion module(AVUM), which provides roll control and pitch, yaw, and axial thrust during the final phase of flight. It shall perform the following functions :-roll control;-attitude control during coasting flight and in orbit phase;-correction of axial velocity error due to solid rocket motor performance scatter;-generation of the required velocity change for orbit circularisation(as required) ;-satellite pointing;-satellite release manoeuvres;-empty stage de-orbiting. 2, record 1, English, - attitude%20and%20Vernier%20upper%20module

In general the bias correction factor has a value varying throughout the range of measurement. It can however have a constant value in certain cases for example : when the correction is necessitated by a change in the density of the liquid in a liquid manometer. In the case of meters when the value of the load is constant or only slightly variable. 1, record 2, English, - bias%20correction%20factor

En général, le facteur de correction a une valeur variable le long de l'étendue de mesure. Toutefois, dans certains cas, il peut avoir une valeur constante par exemple: lorsque la correction est nécessitée par un changement de la densité du liquide d'un manomètre à liquide; dans le cas des compteurs lorsque la valeur de la charge est constante ou peu variable. 1, record 2, French, - facteur%20de%20correction%20de%20justesse
