Today, innovative near-Earth and interplanetary space missions are being planned with the aim of enabling sustainable and responsible utilization of space, on the one hand, and to expand humanity's capability in exploring space, from the Moon to Mars and beyond, on the other. High-power magnetically shielded Hall thrusters are currently seen as one of the most promising candidates among the electric propulsion concepts to realize these novel mission scenarios. Indeed, these thrusters provide both the high-throughput and the long-lifetime capabilities that are essential for the next-generation missions. 1, record 1, English, - interplanetary%20space%20mission

Des accéléromètres électrostatiques sont actuellement utilisés sur plusieurs missions de géodésie. [La] thèse est centrée sur [...] un instrument composé d'un accéléromètre électrostatique et d'une platine rotative. Cette évolution technologique permet de faire des mesures d'accélération non gravitationnelle sans biais. Cela est essentiel pour le succès scientifique d'une mission interplanétaire du point de vue du test de la gravitation. En effet, en mesurant sans biais l'accélération non gravitationnelle d'une sonde interplanétaire et en utilisant ces mesures dans le processus de restitution d'orbite, il est possible de tester la gravitation de manière non ambiguë. 2, record 1, French, - mission%20interplan%C3%A9taire

Las misiones interplanetarias son el origen de los futuros viajes interplanetarios que realizarán personas altamente cualificadas (ingenieros, científicos, etc.) en no mucho tiempo puesto que ya están en desarrollo proyectos como el de la nave Starship que permitirá la llegada de una pequeña colonia de humanos a Marte por primera vez. Estas misiones han posibilitado la recogida de información suficiente de los diferentes cuerpos celestes (principalmente la Luna y Marte) que forman el Sistema Solar para tener un amplio conocimiento sobre las condiciones a las que se enfrentaría un humano en ese nuevo ambiente extraterrestre. 1, record 1, Spanish, - misi%C3%B3n%20interplanetaria

The system, which consists of proximity sensors, sensor targets, and associated electronics, will be used to monitor the position of the A380's multiple passenger and cargo doors. The passenger door sensors feature ELDEC' s new dynamic range sensor technology, a unique capability that allows for accurate measurement of an absolute position, rather than at specific actuation points.... our innovative sensing solution for the advanced door and slide management system that Diehl is supplying to Airbus... is exceptionally accurate and uniquely capable of proportional measurement. 1, record 3, English, - door%20and%20slide%20management%20system

The Future Combat Systems(FCS), formerly known as Future Ground Combat Systems(FGCS) program, an out-growth of the Mobile Tactical Operations Center, will develop network centric concepts for a multi-mission combat system(MMCS). The Future Combat Systems will develop the capability to rapidly project a dominant ground force anywhere in the world within days. This strategically deployable, tactically superior and sustainable force will provide a quick reaction capability if conflicts arise in the 21st century. This requisite capability may require advanced technologies, a revolution in both strategy and tactics, and innovative Industrial teaming. 1, record 5, English, - Future%20Combat%20Systems%20concept
