Subject field(s)
  • Geomorphology and Geomorphogeny
DEF

A rock outcrop formed by weathering, usually found on or near the summit of a hill.

CONT

Many features in the park are typical of non-glaciated landscapes. V-shaped valleys, isolated conical hills and sideslope rock outcrops called "tors" are the most obvious ones.

OBS

In the South West of England, where the term originated, it is also a word used for the hills themselves-particularly the high points of Dartmoor in Devon and Bodmin Moor in Cornwall. The word "tor" is also used in southern Wales, particularly on the rocky coastlines such as the Vale of Glamorgan and the Gower peninsula;... The term is notable for being, along with crag, one among a mere handful of Celtic loan-words(Cornish tor, Old Welsh twrr, Scots Gaelic tòrr).

OBS

tor: term used at Natural Resources Canada - Earth Sciences Sector.

Subject field(s)
  • Orbital Stations
CONT

Vacuum Exhaust System(Waste Gas). All of the laboratory modules contain the plumbing to support a waste gas exhaust system that is vented to space. A 2. 5 cm(1 in.) diameter gas line connected to this exhaust system is provided at each of the ISPR [International Standard Payload Racks] locations. The pressure allowed into the waste gas line is 275. 8 kPa(40 psia). The temperature of the exhaust waste gas is allowed to be be between 15. 6-45°C(60-113°F). The waste gas system can reach pressures of 1 x 10 [minus³] torr(1. 9 x 10minus 5 psia) in less than two hours for a single payload volume of 100 liters(3. 5 ft³) at an initial pressure of 101. 4 kPa(14. 7 psia). The waste gas system is a shared and scheduled resource that can only be operated at one ISPR location within each module at a time. This requirement is to prevent cross contamination of payloads and incompatible mixtures of waste gas constituents. The types of waste gas constituents allowed must be compatible with the wetted materials of the module waste gas system.

OBS

waste gas exhaust system: term officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).

PHR

Module waste gas system.

  • Orbital Stations
CONT

Vacuum Resource. At selected locations within the U. S. Lab(9 ISPRs), JEM-PM(4 ISPRs), and Columbus(8 ISPR s), a 2. 5 cm(1 in.) vacuum resource line is provided via a quick-disconnect for those payloads requiring a vacuum environment. Each module contains the plumbing to produce this vacuum resource by connection to space. The vacuum is provided at a pressure of 10[ minus³] torr(1. 9 x 10minus 5 psia). Multiple payload locations may be connected to the vacuum resource at a time.
