With such a large payload volume and weight, most launches will carry two or more satellites. A special payload interface ring, or tandem adapter, needs to be designed for these situations.... The purpose of the adapter is to allow the Gryphon itself to carry the acceleration forces of each satellite, rather than the bottom satellite carrying the loads of the top satellite. The satellites are released one at a time, with reorientation between orbital injections. 2, record 1, English, - orbit%20injection

Caldera formation.-A collapse is triggered by the emptying of the magma chamber beneath the volcano, usually as the result of a large volcanic eruption. If enough magma is erupted, the emptied chamber will not be able to support the weight of the volcanic edifice(the mountain) above. Fractures will form around the edge of the chamber, usually in a roughly circular shape. These ring fractures may in fact serve as volcanic vents. As the magma chamber empties, the center of the volcano within the ring fractures begins to collapse. The collapse may occur as the result of a single massive eruption, or it may occur in stages as the result of a series of eruptions. The total area that collapses may be hundreds or thousands of square kilometers. 2, record 2, English, - caldera%20formation

Calderas can become filled with pyroclastic material and even lava. In fact, it has been suggested that caldera formation is a regular process in the growth of basalt volcanoes, such as those in Hawaii. Thus, you would have a large eruption, followed by caldera formation; the caldera is then filled over hundreds or thousands of years, built up, and then a new one is formed at a later date. 3, record 2, English, - caldera%20formation

After distillation, the dimethyldechlorosilanes are hydrolyzed to form silanols which rapidly condense to cyclic siloxanes and low molecular weight linear siloxanes. The latter are reacted with caustic to produce cyclic siloxanes, specifically dimethyl tetramer or D4 which is the primary input for all dimethyl silicone rubber polymer and which is a clear, low viscosity liquid. Ring opening polymerization of the cyclic D4 is then accomplished via strong base resulting in linear polymer whose molecular weight(viscosity) is controlled by the addition of monofunctional siloxanes which function as chain stoppers. 3, record 7, English, - cyclic%20siloxane

The Gardner falling weight test method is a variation of the falling-dart method. Test specimens are supported by a metal ring but are not rigidly clamped in place. Moreover, the hemispherical tup is separate from the falling weight. The tup rests on the test specimen, serving as an anvil for the falling weight during impact. 1, record 13, English, - Gardner%20falling%20weight%20test
