Le satellite Radarsat-2, qui doit être lancé en 2002, sera le satellite SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar- radar à synthèse d'ouverture) le plus perfectionné au monde. Équipé d'un radar de télédétection de nouvelle génération fonctionnant dans la bande C, Radarsat-2 offrira un pouvoir de résolution au sol allant de 3 à 100 mètres dans des largeurs de balayage comprises entre 20 et 500 m. Il sera le premier satellite SAR commercial à offrir une fonction de polarisation multiple, une importante caractéristique qui permet de détecter une vaste gamme de particularités de surfaces et de cibles. L'entreprise McDonald, Dettwiler & Associates a été retenue comme partenaire privé du projet. La société italienne Alenia Aerospazio, qui possède une grande expérience de la construction de capteurs hyperfréquences, y compris d'altimètres radar, de radiomètres et de SAR destinés aux satellites d'observation de la Terre de l'ESA, sera quant à elle chargée de la construction de la plate-forme de Radarsat-2. 3, record 8, French, - RADARSAT%2D2

The basis of a water-based flexo ink is usually pigment dispersed in acrylic resin solution, stabilized with an amine. The pigment is normally a crystalline organic powder, ground to an extremely fine dispersion using a bead-mill. The fine particle size gives the printer improved color strength and prevents clogging of the anilox. For white ink, titanium dioxide pigment is used. And for black ink, carbon black powder is used... The dispersion of pigment in solution acrylic resin is mixed with acrylic emulsions and additives. The blend of acrylic emulsions has a great influence on properties observed in the final ink, such as gloss, drying speed, rub resistance and water resistance. The amine is an important part of a water-based formulation as it affects the stability of the resin... 3, record 10, English, - water%2Dbased%20flexo%20ink

ESA is currently preparing Envisat, Europe's largest remote-sensing satellite to date, for launch. Its payload includes an advanced instrument complement designed to guarantee the continuity of observation started by its predecessors and to meet the global Earth-monitoring requirement on a longer time scale. In particular, the altimetry from Envisat will benefit from the improved performance of a dual frequency Radar Altimeter(RA-2) working in synergy with the Microwave Radiometer(MWR) and Doppler Orbitography and Radiopositioning Integrated by Satellite(DORIS) instruments. The ground processing products that will be available in near-real-time will be as comprehensive as the off-line products, differing only in terms of the availability and quality of the auxiliary data. 2, record 11, English, - dual%20frequency%20radar%20altimeter

An improved version of the Calibrated Synthetic Viewing(CSV) system developed at JPL [Jet Propulsion Laboratory] that used models of objects being manipulated and realtime video data to provide synthetic views of the manipulator workspace will be tested. This technology is intended to enable the conduct of manipulator operations in spite of obstructions that prevent a direct view of, for example, the interface between objects being mated. Upgraded software will be supplied by JPL and installed in the ARMSS [Automated Robotic Maintenance of Space Station] and the GCC [Ground Control Console]. An earlier version of this system was tested in FY96 [Fiscal Year]. As in the previous test, the test scenario will involve changing out a Remote Power Conditioning Module(RPCM), an ISS [International Space Station] orbital replacement unit(ORU). The surrounding structure will be "mocked up" to represent a typical ISS structure and ISS procedures will be used for the changeout. 2, record 13, English, - remote%20power%20conditioning%20module

The circulation of heated air between adjacent rooms and different levels can be improved by using vents. Properly located floor vents can assist the natural convection cycle of rising warm air and falling cool air by providing a path. For example, the central stairway in a two-storey home allows warm air to reach the second floor, but circulation is limited because there is little return of displaced air back to the ground floor. Add one or two floor vents near outside walls and the cooler air upstairs will flow down through the vents and back towards the heater. 1, record 20, English, - floor%20vent
