Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 OBS

For visualization purposes, the station's direction of motion is called the velocity vector, or V-bar for short. By convention, points in front of the station are said to be on the positive V-bar while points behind are considered negative. The imaginary line connecting the station with the center of the Earth is called the radius vector, or R-bar. Points directly below the station along this line are considered positive while points above are considered negative. Endeavour, then, will approach the station along the plus R-bar. The station will be oriented with its long axis aligned with the velocity vector, with the Unity module in "front" and Zvezda behind. Unity's nadir and zenith ports will be oriented as their names imply. This orientation, or attitude, is known as "XVV, "i. e., the station's X axis is aligned with the velocity vector. The terminal rendezvous sequence will begin with a rocket firing(TI) as Endeavour trails the station by about eight nautical miles. Once the shuttle reaches the plus R-bar, commander Brent Jett will guide the ship up from directly below. As he nears the station, he will yaw the shuttle 180 degrees so its tail is pointing in the direction of motion and its nose toward the minus V-bar. Assuming a good linkup, the shuttle will begin controlling the station's orientation for the duration of Endeavour's mission, moving the lab back into an "X-POP" attitude with the station's X axis perpendicular to the plane of its orbit. In this orientation, the long axis of the station is broadside to the velocity vector.  4, record 4, English, - R%2Dbar%20approach

The flight plan calls for Wetherbee to approach Mir from directly below, along the imaginary line joining the station and the center of the Earth. This is known as the R-bar, or radius vector, and shuttles approaching from below are said to be carrying out a "plus R-bar rendezvous"(it would be a negative R-bar approach if Atlantis came in from above Mir). By approaching from below, the shuttle can utilize the natural braking provided by Earth's gravity to minimize the use of upward firing thrusters that could damage Mir's fragile solar arrays.  1, record 6, English, - negative%20R%2Dbar%20approach

External forces on the ISS [International Space Station] during flight in low-Earth orbit require attitude adjustments using the control functions(effectors)... These forces act on the Station to produce torques that are dependent on the seasons, diurnal(daily) phase, and the solar cycle. To counter these forces the Control Moment Gyros and Gyrodynes are used to rotate the ISS in the opposite directions, until the momentum stored in these gyros reaches a maximum, or saturation. At this point, the gyros must be desaturated, or spun down, by firing the thrusters in the opposite direction. Desaturation takes valuable propulsion fuel and is programmed for a minimum of use.  1, record 8, English, - desaturation

Ce phénomène s'appelle saturation des gyros et nécessite au bout d'une certaine période une désaturation.

Environ 2h30 avant la poussée du moteur, des commandes sont envoyées à la sonde pour allumer des petits moteurs embarqués pour «désaturer» ou vider les moments des volants d'inertie. Ces dispositifs sont similaires aux gyroscopes et sont utilisés pour contrôler l'orientation de la sonde - son positionnement sur 3 axes - pour qu'elle montre la face désirée. La désaturation préparent les volants d'inertie pour la tâche de tourner Odyssey dans la bonne position pour la poussée d'insertion orbitale.  3, record 8, French, - d%C3%A9saturation
