Record 3 2014-10-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Optics
CONT

An instrument located at the Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory on Mount Hopkins, Arizona, at an altitude of 2, 606 m(8, 550 ft). It employed six mirrors, each 1. 82 m(72 in.) across, working together to give the equivalent of a single mirror 4. 45 m(176 in.) in aperture. In 1998, the MMT was used in a pioneering demonstration of nulling interferometry to image the dust cloud around Betelgeuse. Following this, the telescope was closed and work began to upgrade it by replacing the 6 small mirrors with a single mirror 6. 5 m in diameter.

OBS

The MMT kept its original name after it was converted to a single 6.5m diameter mirror on May 20, 2000.

L'observatoire d'astrophysique Smithsonian et l'Université d'Arizona présentèrent, en 1979, un tout nouveau type de télescope: le MMT ("Multiple-Mirror Telescope", ou télescope à miroir multiple). Installé sur le mont Hopkins en Arizona, le MMT se compose de 6 miroirs de 183 cm (72"), disposés en hexagone et alignés par ordinateur.

OBS

Il existe d'autres types de télescopes à miroirs multiples : le télescope Keck, situé à l'observatoire du Mauna Kea, à Hawaii, aux États-Unis, est constitué de 36 petits miroirs hexagonaux de 90 cm. Le télescope spatial James Webb (JWST), dont le lancement est prévu pour 2010, sera constitué de 18 miroirs de 6.5 mètres.

Fred contains hundreds of radiation monitoring devices. Fred... will measure the amount of radiation to which astronauts are exposed. High-energy particles that pass through the human body can disrupt the way cells function. Although no astronaut has ever been diagnosed with space radiation sickness, excessive exposure could lead to health problems.

Record 6 2003-03-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • Orbital Stations
CONT

Kibo's Debris Shield. The International Space Station(ISS) wall is designed to protect the ISS and its crew from space debris. A debris shield is adopted for this particular purpose. A famous astronomer, Fred Whipple, devised this shield, so it is called a Whipple Shield. The idea is to attach a layer of thin aluminum plate outside the wall. When a space debris impacts this outer plate, the kinetic energy of the space debris is converted to heat. This heat creates a hole in the outer plate. However, the debris will evaporate or disintegrate to small particles consisting of gas, liquid and solids and will no longer be able to significantly damage the wall.... a stuffed-shield is adopted on the wall of the front side of Kibo, covering an area of 150 degrees. A stuffed shield binds several kinds of textile layers similar to a bulletproof vest between itself and the wall. This is a reinforced Whipple shield.

OBS

The International Space Station will be covered by 200 different types of protection.

OBS

debris shield: term officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).

[...] Dans le cas des modules d'habitation, le bouclier multi-couches [...] est maintenu à plusieurs centimètres de la surface de la paroi [pour une protection accrue].

  • Heating
DEF

[a] device meant to sustain flames under zero-gravity conditions.

CONT

... two scientists at Imperial College, London, have perfected a system by which a flame in a spacecraft can be safely used for cutting, welding and even cooking. The genius of their discovery is that, until now, it has been difficult to keep a flame burning in zero gravity.... Prof. Felix Weinberg and Dr Fred Carleton have built a simple machine called an "electro-gas dynamic chimney", which creates the effect of a draught that enables the flame to keep burning.
