Record 1 2026-04-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Launchers (Astronautics)
CONT

Because of the high energy density of cryogenic propellants, a cryogenic upper stage is a significant asset to the payload community. However, the use of cryogenic upper stages in manned programs [was] limited to the Saturn Apollo program, primarily due to safety considerations involving the former shuttle transportation system. There was the risk of a "return to launch site" abort with a full or partial load of cryogenic propellants in the cargo bay, which could overpressurize after landing.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Lanceurs (Astronautique)
CONT

L'étage supérieur cryotechnique utilise un moteur cryotechnique à ergols liquides HM7B. L'ESC permet de porter la charge utile sur l'orbite souhaitée. Pour chaque moteur, la poussée résulte de la détente des produits de combustion à travers une tuyère en aval de la chambre de combustion.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Lanzadores (Astronáutica)
CONT

Con la evolución del lanzador, se [desarrolló] una etapa superior criogénica que dotaba al lanzador [de] la capacidad de reencendido para inyectar distintos satélites en diferentes órbitas.

Record 2 2018-11-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • IT Security
  • Computer Programs and Programming
CONT

A binary virus is a virus that needs a second component to become activatedand do whatever it was designed to do. It is nearly impossible to detect an incomplete virus.

CONT

Binary viruses are a special case of encrypted viruses. The principle is that a virus carries the replicating code in full, but only half of the payload. Only when the "companion" virus is encountered(which carries the other half of the payload), the combination of the two payloads produces meaningful code which can be executed.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sécurité des TI
  • Programmes et programmation (Informatique)
CONT

Les virus binaires constituent un cas particulier des virus cryptés. Le principe est que le virus contient la totalité du code autoreproducteur mais simplement la moitié de la charge. Ce n'est qu'en rencontrant le virus «associé» (celui qui porte l'autre moitié de la charge) que la combinaison des deux charges produit une codification significative pouvant être exécutée.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Orbital Stations
CONT

The fields of view for attached payloads are dependent on payload type and location, with full truss-site payloads having greater latitude in viewing than ExPA payloads. Viewing in the zenith direction for payloads on nadir-pointing truss sites is not generally possible and vice versa. Viewfields for ExPA payloads depend on the payload's position on the pallet and the relative height of adjacent payloads. Positions provide various combinations of viewing in the nadir, zenith, ram, wake, and Earth-limb directions.

Subject field(s)
  • Orbital Stations
CONT

The Window Observational Research Facility(WORF). The WORF will provide a stable platform such that the full capacity of the U. S. Laboratory window(the highest optical quality window ever flown on an inhabited spacecraft) can be utilized. The WORF will provide payload support infrastructure including mounting hardware, power, cooling, and access to the ISS [International Space Station] data system. The WORF will provide protection for the interior of the Lab window and control stray light exchange between the Lab interior and the external Station environment. The WORF will be economically based upon structures and electronics already designed and certified for operation onboard the ISS and will allow easy periodic upgrade and changeout of support subsystems. WORF computer interfaces will maximize commonality with ISS command and data handling systems.
