The MSS [Mobile Servicing System] consists of three main elements : the Space Station Remote Manipulator System(SSRMS), known as Canadarm2, the Mobile Base System(MBS), and the Special Purpose Dexterous Manipulator(SPDM). Canadarm2 and the MBS, its platform, are essential tools for the assembly of the ISS.... The Space Station Remote Manipulator System(SSRMS), known as Canadarm2, is the first component of the Mobile Servicing System. Although similar to the Shuttle Canadarm, this 17-metre manipulator is somewhat larger and incorporates many advanced features, including the ability to self relocate. The arm has the capacity to handle large ISS modules and structural elements. It will initially be used to assemble the Station. In the future, it will capture and dock unmanned resupply spacecraft to the ISS and perform routine maintenance tasks. Canadarm2 will normally move along the Space Station on the Mobile Base System, but it also has the ability to "walk" from place to place by moving from one grapple fixture on the exterior of the structure to the next, like an inchworm.... It is equipped with four television cameras, two mounted on the booms and one near each tip. These cameras feed images to the astronauts operating the arm from the Robotic Workstation inside the Station. An advanced version of the Canadian Space Vision System improves the ability of Canadarm2 operators to keep track of the position, orientation and movement of payloads being grappled. 1, record 9, English, - Canadarm2

Le MSS [Système d'entretien mobile] comprend trois éléments principaux : le Télémanipulateur de la Station spatiale (SSRMS), connu sous le nom de Canadarm2, la Base mobile (MBS) et le Manipulateur agile spécialisé (SPDM). Le Canadarm2 et sa plate-forme, le MBS, sont des outils essentiels à l'assemblage de l'ISS. [...] Le Télémanipulateur de la Station spatiale (SSRMS), connu sous le nom de Canadarm2, est la première composante du Système d'entretien mobile. Bien que semblable au Canadarm de la navette, ce manipulateur de 17 mètres de long est un peu plus imposant et comporte de nombreuses caractéristiques de pointe, dont sa capacité de se relocaliser de lui-même. Le bras est capable de manipuler de gros modules et des éléments structuraux de l'ISS. II sera initialement utilisé pour assembler les éléments de la Station. Plus tard, il saisira et amarrera des engins spatiaux non habités d'approvisionnement de l'ISS et accomplira des travaux d'entretien courants. Le Canadarm2 se déplacera normalement le long de la Station spatiale sur sa base mobile, mais il sera également capable de «marcher» d'un endroit à un autre, un peu à la façon d'une chenille arpenteuse, en saisissant l'une après l'autre des bornes électromécaniques installées sur la structure extérieure de la Station. Le Canadarm2 comporte des unités remplaçables en orbite (ORU), des composantes pouvant être enlevées et remplacées par un astronaute ou par le Manipulateur agile spécialisé. Le bras robotique est équipé de quatre caméras de télévision, deux montées sur les segments et une autre à chacune des extrémités. Ces caméras captent des images à l'intention des astronautes qui commandent le bras depuis le poste de travail robotique à l'intérieur de la Station. Une version récente du Système canadien de vision spatiale améliore la capacité des opérateurs du Canadarm2 de suivre la position, l'orientation et les mouvements des charges utiles qu'ils auront saisies. 12, record 9, French, - Canadarm2

Engineering Cockpit Simulator consists of a transport aircraft cockpit with all instrumentation and flight dynamics driven by a network of high-end graphics workstations. The software can simulate nearly any commercial transport aircraft, using five networked graphics computer machines, including an out-the-window display. Classified as a flight-training device, the simulator uses high-resolution, computer-generated images, to graphically depict airplane controls and displays that are located on the forward instrument panel. To increase fidelity, some aircraft components are installed, including throttle quadrant, flight mode control panel, flight management systems, control yokes, landing gear handle assembly, and rudder pedals. 3, record 10, English, - engineering%20cockpit%20simulator

The software is flexible, allowing the simulation of nearly any commercial transport aircraft. 2, record 10, English, - engineering%20cockpit%20simulator

The MCE is a set of specilized control equipment which controls the operation of the on-orbit Mobile Servicing System(MSS) external components and is physically installed into the United States On-orbit Segment(USOS). The Space Station will be equipped with two sets of MCE, operable from the U. S. Laboratory(USL). One set of MCE can be configured for Cupola operations by relocating the crew input and output devices to the Cupola(the core processing electronics will remain in the USL). 2, record 11, English, - MSS%20control%20equipment

La Base mobile (MBS) constitue une plate-forme mobile et un poste d'entreposage à l'intention des astronautes pendant les sorties extravéhiculaires. La MBS est équipée de quatre bornes électromécaniques, elle peut donc simultanément servir de base pour le Canadarm2 et pour le Manipulateur agile spécialisé. Puisqu'elle est montée sur un transporteur mobile de fabrication américaine, la MBS peut déplacer ces éléments clés vers le poste de travail requis en faisant glisser le transporteur sur des rails installés sur toute la largeur de la Station. 3, record 12, French, - base%20mobile
