CRUISE PHASE [5 records]

Record 1 2021-07-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Interplanetary Space Exploration
  • Research Experiments in Space
CONT

Primary activities during the cruise include check out of the spacecraft in its cruise configuration, checkout and monitoring of the spacecraft and the science instruments, and navigation activities necessary to determine and correct Odyssey’s flight path to Mars.

OBS

The cruise phase comes between the launch phase and the encounter phase.

Record 2 2014-07-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Piloting and Navigation
CONT

The cruise phase of flight(above 3000 ft) is calculated based on the BADA [(Base of Aircraft Data) ] fuel-use characteristics of the plane and the flight path length of the movement.

OBS

cruise phase of flight : term standardized by Environment Canada and the Translation Bureau for use in the National Inventory Report.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Pilotage et navigation aérienne
CONT

Pendant la phase de vol en croisière (au-dessus de 3000 pi), les émissions sont calculées d’après les caractéristiques de consommation de carburant de l’aéronef précisées dans la BADA [(Base of Aircraft Data)] et la longueur de la trajectoire de vol du mouvement de l’aéronef.

OBS

phase de vol en croisière : terme normalisé par Environnement Canada et le Bureau de la traduction dans le cadre du Rapport d'inventaire national.

Record 3 2007-04-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Counter-Measures (Military operations)
  • Electronic Warfare
  • Radar, Radio Guidance and Goniometry
CONT

After launch, and as the ASCM [anti-ship cruise missile] nears the target, distraction cartridges are fired at ranges up to 4. 5 km to disturb the range and accuracy of the missile's guidance system. However, should the missile have already locked on to the ship in its final attack phase, seduction chaff is deployed to provide point defense and a means sometimes in coordination with other on-board EW [electronic warfare] equipment, to "pull" the seaker away from the ship to the chaff cloud.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Launchers (Astronautics)
CONT

Spin Up and Ejection Mechanism(SUEM)... The SUEM is designed to restrain the Beagle 2 Probe during the launch phase, hold the Probe in place during the 6 month cruise phase and release, spin-up and eject the Probe towards the Martian surface.

Record 5 2002-07-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Piloting and Navigation
CONT

Performance management consists essentially of calculating the optimum parameters for each phase of flight, such as climb, cruise and descent, and for the flight as a whole, taking into account the characteristics of the aircraft, the flight plan, the known meteorological conditions and so on. The pilot can set the system to achieve minimum consumption, lowest cost or best time. The computations make it possible to predict cost, so that the pilot can propose a change in flight conditions to the FMS and discover what effect it might have on cost if he were to put it into practice.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Pilotage et navigation aérienne
CONT

La gestion des performances consiste essentiellement à calculer les paramètres optimaux pour chaque phase de vol (montée, croisière, descente) et pour la totalité du vol en fonction des données propres à l'avion, du plan de vol, des conditions météorologiques connues, etc.

OBS

gestion des performances : terme uniformisé par le Comité d'uniformisation de la terminologie aéronautique (CUTA) - Opérations aériennes.
