Intiated in Fiscal Year 1980, AgRISTARS is a long-term program of research, development, evaluation and application of aerospace remote sensing to meet the needs of USDA. The program is currently a cooperative effort of the USDA; the National Aeronautics and Space Administration; the U. S. Department of Commerce through its agency, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration(NOAA) ;the U. S. Department of the Interior, and the Agency for International Development. The program goal is to determine the usefulness, cost, and extent to which aerospace remote sensing data can be integrated into existing or future USDA systems to improve the objectivity, reliability, timeliness, and adequacy of information required to carry out USDA missions.  2, record 1, English, - Agricultural%20and%20Resources%20Inventory%20Surveys%20Through%20Aerospace%20Remote%20Sensing

An improved version of the Calibrated Synthetic Viewing(CSV) system developed at JPL [Jet Propulsion Laboratory] that used models of objects being manipulated and realtime video data to provide synthetic views of the manipulator workspace will be tested. This technology is intended to enable the conduct of manipulator operations in spite of obstructions that prevent a direct view of, for example, the interface between objects being mated. Upgraded software will be supplied by JPL and installed in the ARMSS [Automated Robotic Maintenance of Space Station] and the GCC [Ground Control Console]. An earlier version of this system was tested in FY96 [Fiscal Year]. As in the previous test, the test scenario will involve changing out a Remote Power Conditioning Module(RPCM), an ISS [International Space Station] orbital replacement unit(ORU). The surrounding structure will be "mocked up" to represent a typical ISS structure and ISS procedures will be used for the changeout.  2, record 2, English, - remote%20power%20conditioning%20module

The previous government did not provide sufficient funding both to meet Canada's commitment under the Space Station program and to carry out other essential space activities. The government is faced with the reality that Canada's current partnership role in the International Space Station Program is not within its fiscal means. Therefore, the decision has been taken to negotiate an orderly withdrawal from current commitments to the Space Station program.  1, record 3, English, - withdrawal%20from%20commitment

Le gouvernement précédent n'avait pas prévu de fonds suffisants pour permettre au Canada de faire face à ses engagements dans le cadre tant du programme de la station spatiale que d'autres activités essentielles dans le domaine spatial. Le gouvernement doit faire face à une réalité : le rôle de partenariat actuel du Canada dans le Programme international de station spatiale n'est pas dans ses moyens. Il a donc été décidé de négocier un désengagement ordonné de ce programme.  1, record 3, French, - d%C3%A9sengagement
