The specific impulse... of a propulsion system is the impulse(change in momentum) per unit of propellant. Depending on whether the amount of propellant is expressed in mass or in weight(by convention weight on the Earth) the dimension of specific impulse is that of speed or time, respectively, differing by a factor of g, the gravitational acceleration at the surface of the Earth.  2, record 7, English, - specific%20impulse

The xenon ion propulsion system, or XIPS(pronounced "zips"), is the culmination of nearly four decades of research into the use of electric propulsion as an alternative to conventional chemical propulsion.... the increased efficiency possible with XIPS allows for a reduction in propellant mass of up to 90% for a satellite designed for 12 to 15 years operation. Less propellant results in reduced cost for launch, an increase in payload, or an increase in satellite lifetime, or any combination of the above.... The on-board XIPS system is used primarily for spacecraft stationkeeping. Small thrusts are required to correct for the tug of solar or lunar gravity and to reposition the satellite in its proper orbit and altitude. A satellite's lifetime as well as its launch weight is thus determined by the amount of fuel aboard for its thruster system. While most current satellites use a chemical bipropellant propulsion system, a XIPS-equipped satellite instead uses the impulse generated by a thruster ejecting electrically charged particles at high velocities. XIPS requires only one propellant, xenon, and does its stationkeeping job using a fraction of that required by a chemical propellant system.  3, record 8, English, - xenon%20ion%20propulsion%20system

Le système à propulsion ionique au xénon, ou XIPS, est l'aboutissement de presque 40 ans de recherches dans l'utilisation de la propulsion électrique comme alternative à la traditionnelle propulsion chimique . [...] XIPS permet un emport de masse de propergols réduit jusqu'à 90% pour un satellite devant opérer pendant 12 à 15 ans. Le système embarqué XIPS est utilisé en premier lieu pour le maintien en orbite . De toutes petites poussées sont nécessaires pour corriger l'attraction de la gravitation solaire ou lunaire et pour repositionner le satellite sur sa propre orbite, à la bonne altitude. La durée de vie d'un satellite ainsi que sa masse à lancer sont ainsi déterminées par la quantité d'ergols à embarquer pour son système de poussée. Un satellite équipé de XIPS utilise l'impulsion générée par une tuyère éjectant des particule chargées électriquement à très grandes vitesses. Le XIPS nécessite un seul ergol, le xénon. Le court du XIPS est une tuyère ionique, mesurant moins de 30 cm. Deux autres unités clés comprennent un réservoir contenant du gaz xénon (inerte et non combustible), et un générateur de puissance.  1, record 8, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20%C3%A0%20propulsion%20ionique%20au%20x%C3%A9non

Boil-off. When liquid propellants are stored at temperatures above their boiling-point they vaporize. If we contain the vapors in the tank, then the pressure increases with temperature. Since the tank weight increases with design pressure, a pressure relief valve is generally provided to prevent the tank from over pressurizing and exploding. When the relief valve releases the pressure, some of the propellant escapes from the tank. This lost propellant is referred to as boil-off loss.  2, record 9, English, - boil%2Doff

The booster aft attachment device is a divided ring with inner diameter of approximately 3 m and a weight of 620 kg, located at the aft of each solid propellant booster of the Ariane 5 launcher. This lightweight structure has to transmit loads with a minimum of deformation and thus requires a high-efficiency design. Stringent precision requirements at the interfaces are respected in the manufacturing process. A great many assembly components, requiring more than 550 precisely situated holes, are necessary to attach several external devices.  2, record 11, English, - aft%20attachment%20device

The rocket was shaped as a cone 24 meters tall and 2. 74 meters in diameter. The weight of the rocket structure(empty weight) was about 7 tons including the warhead of the assigned weight. A fully fueled rocket would weigh 70. 85 tons on the launch pad. Lack of any aerodynamic surfaces in the design helped reduce the mass ratio to only 0. 1. Similarly to the R-10, thin pressurized propellant tanks made of stainless steel were part of the rocket's external structure; and, again, plywood was proposed for thermal protection of the warhead.  2, record 12, English, - rocket%20structure
