Ariane-5(Expendable Rocket) is part of the European Union's Space Program. At present, the Ariane 5 functions as a Commercial Satellite Launcher and will be used to launch the ATV Cargo/Supply Spacecraft to the International Space station(ISS) in the future. Ariane-5 is the successor to Ariane 4.... The Main Cryogenic Stage is the core of the Ariane 5 launcher. It is 30 meters high and utilizes the Vulcain Rocket Engine. The propellants are liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen. Two Solid Rocket Boosters are around 30 metres high. The two solid boosters deliver more than 90 percent of the total launcher's thrust at the start of flight. Upper Stage is used to propel the payload to its final orbit. The upper stage uses storable propellants. Ariane-5 is developing new upper stages, along with modifications to the main cryogenic stage and solid boosters, that will increase performance and meet demands of space commercial launch market. 2, record 1, English, - Ariane%205

The Canadian Marsville Program is an on-line simulation of the first habitation of the planet Mars. The purpose of the program is to create a positive vision for young Canadians of the technological society they will inherit in the 21st century. The program shows students how they can play a role in establishing the kind of society they want for the future. Marsville has been designed for students in Grades 5 to 12. While primary educational thrust of Marsville is math, science and technology, the project uses a cross-curricular, holistic approach integrating various disciplines. 1, record 3, English, - Canadian%20Marsville%20Program

Le programme permet de montrer aux élèves l'importance du rôle qu'ils pourront jouer dans la mise en place du type de société qu'ils souhaitent pour l'avenir. Marsville fut conçu pour des élèves de la 5ème à la 8ème années. Bien que l'effort éducationnel premier de Marsville se concentre sur les mathématiques, les sciences et la technologie, le projet a une approche holistique et transversale du curriculum en intégrant plusieurs disciplines. 1, record 3, French, - Programme%20Marsville%20Canadien

Another current point of debate concerns the importance of engineered barriers versus naturally occurring barriers in waste management facilities. ... Their proponents argue that these barriers, unlike naturally occurring barriers, can be designed, constructed, tested and adjusted to suit the specific characteristics of the wastes which they are to contain and that they offer the potential for a greater degree of safety. Engineered barriers, such as those that use polymers and cement or that use special-property clays to enhance natural geological features, also allow greater flexibility in the siting of such facilities. 4, record 6, English, - engineered%20barrier
