OBS

police: term and definition standardized by the Canadian Capability-Based Planning Terminology Committee and the Translation Bureau.

Record 2 2007-03-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Spacecraft
DEF

A spacecraft carrying instruments intended for use in exploration of the physical properties of outer space or celestial bodies other than Earth.

CONT

Unlike an artificial satellite, which is placed in more or less permanent orbit around the Earth, a space probe is launched with enough energy to escape the gravitational field of the Earth and navigate among the planets. Radio-transmitted commands and on-board computers provide the means for midcourse corrections in the space probe's trajectory : some advanced craft have executed complex maneuvers on command from Earth when many millions of miles away in space.... A probe may be directed to orbit a planet, to soft-land instrument packages on a planetary surface, or to fly by as close as a few thousand miles from one or more planets.

OBS

[Unmanned spacecrafts] include space and planetary probes such as Pioneer, Voyager, Galileo, Ulysses, Magellan, and Mars. Lunar orbiters (such as the Lunar Geodetic Scout) and unmanned landers (e.g., Artemis).

PHR

Deep space probe.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Engins spatiaux
DEF

[...] vaisseau non habité envoyé par l'Homme pour explorer le système solaire [...].

OBS

Certaines sondes sont destinées à être mises en orbite autour d'autres planètes ou satellites.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Naves espaciales
DEF

Ingenio lanzado con objeto de que explore automáticamente el espacio interplanetario, sobrevuele algún astro o aterrice en él para tomar fotografías, efectuar mediciones relativas a su atmósfera, analizar su suelo, o proceder a otras misiones científicas.

Record 3 2003-11-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Optics
DEF

A defect of an optical system in which the magnification varies with angular distance from the axis, causing straight lines to appear curved.

CONT

The hyperspectral imaging modules are primarily based on flat field diffraction grating technology which allows direct application of spectral unmixing algorithms on the uncorrected data arriving from the sensor, since corrections for optical distortion are unnecessary.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Optique
DEF

Défaut d'un système optique qui fait en sorte que l'agrandissement varie avec la distance angulaire de l'axe, et déforme les lignes droites de sorte qu'elles paraissent courbées.

CONT

La transformation linéaire directe, plus connue sous le sigle anglais de DLT pour Direct Linear Transformation, permet de lier les coordonnées images et terrain par une relation linéaire si la modélisation des phénomènes de distorsion optique n'entre pas en ligne de compte.

Spanish

Record 4 2002-11-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Range Measurements (Telecommunications)
  • Orbital Stations
CONT

Improve the accuracy and resolution of the gravity field along repeat tracks of ERS-1/2, Geosat/ERM and Topex/Poseidon and test these results with precise shipboard gravity. This will involve incorporating the latest orbits and tide corrections into the raw satellite altimeter measurements as well as averaging profiles along repeat tracklines to improve accuracy and resolution.

Key term(s)
  • repeat track
  • repeat trackline

French

Domaine(s)
  • Mesures à distance (Télécommunications)
  • Stations orbitales
Key term(s)
  • trace répétitive

Promotes the development of innovative services, evaluation, and inter-professional cooperation in order to increase the effectiveness of correctional facilities. Seeks to advance high standards of training and the professionalization of corrections personnel, thereby securing public confidence and support.
