English

Subject field(s)
  • Spacecraft
DEF

A piloted spacecraft designed to carry [a space crew] into space.

CONT

Unlike an unmanned probe, it [a manned spacecraft] requires a crew compartment and life support systems. Manned spacecrafts are either reusable, such as the Space Shuttle, or designed for one time use, such as Soyuz. The latter type is generally modular, such as consisting of a reentry module which houses the crew and a service module which contains propulsion, power supply and life support. Only the reentry module returns to Earth.

Subject field(s)
  • Orbital Stations
CONT

The U. S. Laboratory's Optical Window Rack Facility is designed specifically for direct observation and recording of biosphere dynamics, experimentation, and the testing of sensors. It uses the highest-quality optical glass ever installed in a crewed spacecraft.

OBS

optical window: term officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Stations orbitales
OBS

[...] le laboratoire [Destiny] contiendra 23 étages, six étant fixées sur les murs (de chaque côté) et au plafond, alors que les cinq autres se trouvent au plancher. En effet, un espace équivalant aux dimensions d'une étagère a été laissé vacant dans le plancher pour faire place à un hublot très particulier. Il s'agit d'une «fenêtre optique» faite d'un verre de très grande qualité qui servira aux observations de la surface terrestre. Ce hublot, le seul dont est équipé le laboratoire, ne servira donc pas au confort de l'équipage puisque, éventuellement, divers appareils photographiques y seront fixés. Étant donné que les responsables désirent maintenir le bon état et la propreté impeccable du hublot durant les quinze années d'opération du laboratoire, il sera protégé par un écran rideau qui sera fermé lorsqu'il y aura danger de contamination (lors de l'abordage d'un vaisseau spatial ou à l'occasion de certains travaux extérieurs réalisés par des astronautes en scaphandre).

OBS

fenêtre optique : terme uniformisé par le Groupe de travail de la terminologie de la Station spatiale internationale (GTTSSI).
