Subject field(s)
  • Orbital Stations
CONT

The first segment to be launched into orbit, designated Z1, will not permanently attach to other truss segments. The Z1 segment is a 10 ft(3 m) cubelike truss made from six machined bulkheads that are bolted together. The truss houses four control moment gyroscopes that form part of the guidance, navigation, and control system. The location of Z1 is nearly in the middle of the station, which makes it an ideal location for the gyroscopes. A micrometeor shield composed of three sheets of 0. 25 in.(6 mm) aluminum about 5 in.(127 mm) apart protects the sensitive gyroscopes from debris. The 18, 300 lb(8, 300 kg) Z1 segment is currently scheduled to be launched by the end of this year. The truss is a transitional structure that will connect to the pressurized Unity module already on orbit. Astronauts will tighten 16 motorized bolts on the circular coupling on the Unity module side into nuts on Z1 and connect the associated utility plug-ins. Pressurized units generally have circular couplings and nonpressurized unit connectors are rectangular.

CONT

The Z1 truss segment is equipped with several spacewalk aids: Two EVA tool stowage devices (ETSDs), 22 worksite interface (WIF) sockets, 1 flight-releasable grapple fixture (FRGF), 11 trusses, 2 tray launch restraints, numerous standard handholds and handrails, and several custom handles.

OBS

The first piece of truss structure - we refer to it as the Z1 Truss because it is the zenith or uppermost - will be on the uppermost part of the station or the top; the zenith.

Z1 est une plate-forme de communication [qui] supporte des systèmes de communication en bande Ku et S. Le système en bande Ku permet une transmission de données à haut-débit vers le sol, à la vitesse de 50 Mbps Mégabits par secondes). C'est suffisant pour transmettre 4 signaux vidéo en même temps. Ce système servira donc pour la liaison télévisée, mais aussi pour le fret à bord.

  • Urban Planning
OBS

A building containing not nore than two dwelling units, attached at the side or sides in a series of three or more principal buildings each containing not more than two dwelling units [and each with a separate entrance]. At points of attachment, such buildings shall be separated from each other by fire walls extending from footings through roofs without openings which would permit the spread of fire from one building to another. Broad term applying to row houses, town houses, patio or atrium houses, or any form however termed which conforms to this definition. It is important to note that, contrary to zoning classifications, each dwelling in such a row or other arrangement constitutes a single-family dwelling except in rare instances where, for example, the first and second stories of a row house form 2 separate dwelling units thereby creating a two family dwelling.

  • Aménagement urbain
OBS

Habitation dont au moins un mur latéral mitoyen ou coupe-feu est commun en tout ou en partie à une habitation adjacente, pourvu que le nombre d'habitations ainsi reliées soit de trois (3) ou plus. Terme général par rapport à "habitation en rangée", en ce qu'il s'applique également à nombre d'autres formes modernes d'habitations attenantes telles les maisons dites "patio" ou "atrium". Il est à remarquer par ailleurs qu'en dépit d'une classification contraire établie aux fins du zonage, chaque habitation faisant partie d'une "rangée d'habitations" et qui comporte un seul logement constitue une "habitation unifamiliale". Les habitations contiguës bifamiliales, comportant deux logements, sont plus rares.
