We present the modification of two ESA [European Space Agency] ground stations carried out in order to support the in-flight RF [Radio Frequency] validation of the Proximity Communication Equipment(PCE), part of the International Space Station(ISS). This subsystem plays a critical role during the docking of the Automated Transfer Vehicle(ATV), and has to be tested prior to each ATV launch, to ensure that the RF performance is as expected. For the check-out, an unmodulated signal is transmitted by the PCE during an ISS pass, and received by the two ground stations. Based on the strength of the received signal, the radiation characteristic of the complete PCE can be assessed, and compared with the nominal performance. The measurement process requires calibrating the receiving subsystem, including antenna, front-end and back-end equipment. The adopted calibration procedure, only relying on radio stars measurement, does not require the use of a calibrated source external to the ground station. 3, record 2, English, - proximity%20communication%20equipment

Le système de communications PCE (Proximity Communication Equipment) a été développé et intégré à Toulouse par EADS [European Aeronautic Defence Space] Astrium, dans le cadre du programme ATV [véhicule de transfert automatique] de l'Agence Spatiale Européenne, sous responsabilité d'EADS SPACE Transportation qui est le maître d'œuvre du développement et de la construction du segment spatial de l'ATV. Le PCE est destiné à assurer les communications de proximité pour les 30 derniers kilomètres de vol du futur véhicule cargo européen ATV à son approche de la Station spatiale internationale (ISS). [...] Le PCE est un sous-ensemble intégré. Il est constitué de deux chaînes de communications en bande S, entièrement redondantes. Il comprend deux transpondeurs à spectre étalé, deux équipements de gestion de protocoles CCSDS [Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems] et des équipements radio fréquence. Le PCE sera installé dans le module Zvezda de l'ISS et sera opérationnel durant la phase dite «de proximité» correspondant aux 30 derniers kilomètres du vol ATV et à l'exercice délicat de son arrimage à la Station. Ce rendez-vous orbital automatique représentera une première européenne. Parmi l'ensemble des données de commande et de contrôle qu'il transmettra dans le cadre de sa mission de communications, le PCE fournira à l'ATV les informations de position GPS [système mondial de localization] nécessaires à la navigation relative vers la Station spatiale internationale (ISS). À une distance de 500 m et jusqu'à l'arrimage, la navigation se poursuivra à l'aide d'instruments laser, d'abord avec un télégoniomètre puis avec un vidéomètre pour les phases finales. 3, record 2, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20de%20communication%20PCE

Skyplex is the world's first on-satellite DVB signal multiplexing facility-and a revolution in digital broadcasting. By enabling broadcasters to directly access the target satellite audience without having to pass via a centralised high data rate uplink station, Skyplex provides smaller, perhaps regionally based broadcasters, datacasters and service providers, a freedom not known before. 3, record 3, English, - Skyplex

The Toulouse Space Imagery Receiving Station(SRIS) is located at Issus-Aussaguel, 20 km from Toulouse. It can receive image telemetry whenever the satellite is within a circle 2 500 km radius. For one given satellite, this occurs five times a day(two south-bound passes during the night and three north-bound passes during the day, or vice versa). The average pass duration is 10 minutes, the longest 15. 1, record 6, English, - Toulouse%20Space%20Imagery%20Receiving%20Station

Arriving at the Angler train station, I was to behold an amazing spectacle-the train was quickly surrounded by members of the Veteran Guard of Canada, all armed with rifles with bayonets fixed. They formed a long line stretching all the way to the camp, leaving only a narrow corridor between them for the prisoners to pass through.
