TARGET STATION [9 records]

Record 1 2016-03-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Space Weapons
  • Lasers and Masers
  • Materials Engineering
CONT

damping technology would be applied to reduce laser beam jitter, dwell time, and to permit slewing from one target to another in fractions of a second with a laser battle station.

CONT

this vibration damping technology is the critical need for developing the techniques for firing a laser in space.

Record 2 2016-03-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Computer Mathematics
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Metrology and Units of Measure
DEF

A means of measuring the speed of computers used for AI applications.

CONT

The initial milestone in the Fifth Generation plan is a one-user PROLOG work station capable of performing one million LIPS. The final target aims for an inference supercomputer that can perform one hundred million to one billion LIPS.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Mathématiques informatiques
  • Intelligence artificielle
  • Unités de mesure et métrologie
DEF

Unité de mesure des systèmes intelligents de cinquième génération.

CONT

La puissance des ordinateurs de quatrième génération se mesure en M.I.P.S. (million d'instructions par seconde). Pour les ordinateurs de l'Intelligence Artificielle, on emploie [...] l'inférence logique par seconde ou L.I.P.S. («logical inference per second»). Les Japonais visent des performances de l'ordre de cent millions de lips voire même le giga-lips.

CONT

La capacité de la machine à inférence sera de l'ordre de 100 Milps à 1 Gilps (ilps : inférence logique par seconde). On estime qu'une inférence, réalisée par un ordinateur actuel, nécessite de 100 à 1 000 instructions; ainsi un ilps représente de 100 à 1000 instructions par seconde.

OBS

Cette unité est utilisée pour évaluer les performances de programmes ou processeurs déductifs utilisés en intelligence artificielle.

OBS

Les multiples des LIPS sont les Klips, les Mlips et les giga-lips.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Naval Forces
  • Combat Systems (Naval Forces)
  • Sea Operations (Military)
CONT

In more complex versions, several of these consoles are used mostly as target acquisition/designation stations, but Reshet can also have a tactical editor position and a commander's tactical station.

Record 4 2011-03-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Satellite Telecommunications
DEF

A system that allows the multiplexing on board Direct Broadcast Satellites of data streams originating from different ground stations.

CONT

Skyplex is the world's first on-satellite DVB signal multiplexing facility-and a revolution in digital broadcasting. By enabling broadcasters to directly access the target satellite audience without having to pass via a centralised high data rate uplink station, Skyplex provides smaller, perhaps regionally based broadcasters, datacasters and service providers, a freedom not known before.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Télécommunications par satellite
DEF

Système qui permet de multiplexer à bord des satellites de radiodiffusion directe des flux de données en provenance de différentes stations sol.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Telecomunicaciones por satélite
CONT

Skyplex es un multiplexador a bordo de los satélites HotBird de Eutelsat (HB 4, 5 y próximamente HB 6) y es capaz de combinar diferentes flujos de subida (geográficamente distribuidos dentro de la cobertura del satélite) en un solo flujo de bajada DVB-S a 55 Mbps [megabits por segundo].

Record 5 2010-12-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Orbital Stations
CONT

Once it has reached the correct orientation for rendezvous with the already-orbiting International Space Station comprised of the Russian Zarya control module and the US Unity module, Zvezda becomes the passive vehicle in the final approach and docking operations. As the passive target vehicle, Zvezda will maintain a station-keeping orbit as the active Zarya control module performs the rendezvous and docking under ground control using the Russian automated rendezvous and docking system(Kurs).

Record 6 2002-03-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Orbital Stations
CONT

The Space Shuttle stops within 50 meters of Mir, which is approximately one-half the length of a football field. From that position the Space Shuttle waits for clearance from Mission Control to continue. When the command is given to continue, the Reaction Control System is activated again and the Space Shuttle closes in on Mir at a speed of about 0.05 meters per second until it reaches a distance of about 9 meters. There, the Space Shuttle stops again and waits for approximately 5 minutes. The Commander and Pilot make sure they can see the docking target clearly and fine-tune the alignment of the Space Shuttle with the docking target. A large black cross called the Stand-off Cross is mounted 30 centimeters (cm) above the back plate in the center of the target. When the Commander has the Stand-off Cross squarely in line with the docking target, he or she maneuvers the Space Shuttle and makes contact with the docking ring. Once a series of hooks is engaged, the Space Shuttle is then successfully docked with Mir.

OBS

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

Record 7 2001-10-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Orbital Stations
CONT

... the Kurs automated docking system on Zarya controls the docking with Zvezda, which will serve as the passive "target" during the docking. Should the automated docking system fail, Russia would launch two cosmonauts to the station on a Soyuz about 15 days later. The crew would dock with Zvezda and assemble a backup teleoperated rendezvous control system(TORU), that would be used to dock the modules. The crew would return to Earth shortly after the modules were docked.

OBS

Kurs automated docking system; Kurs automatic docking system: terms officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).

Le système Kurs est le système d'amarrage automatique russe qui est situé à l'intérieur de Zarya et qui servira à amarrer le module de service avec précision.
