Le lanceur SLS a été conçu pour envoyer à nouveau des êtres humains sur la Lune et leur permettre d'y vivre et d'y travailler. [...] La conception du lanceur SLS est faite pour évoluer selon la destination et les exigences de la mission. Il pourrait par exemple lancer Orion et d'autres charges utiles lourdes en même temps dans l'espace.

Alenia Aeronautica and Targetti have realized a simulator which is able to reproduce the lighting conditions present when flying at an altitude of 10000 meters, inside a real airplane. ... In fact, being able to realistically reproduce natural light opens the way to potentially infinite applications: from the assessment of architectural models to studying the lighting "behavior" of materials and surfaces, to various design requirements, including aircraft instrumentation legibility tests at high quotas, which has been the particular focus of the work carried out by Alenia and Targetti. According to international regulations, aeronautical instrumentation displays, especially those of military aircraft with transparent cockpits, must be approved by tests which involve actually flying the airplane in order to assess performance in real lighting conditions. The costs and risks are obvious as is the value of creating a system which can recreate the light conditions of an aircraft in flight while it is still on the ground. 3, record 4, English, - sky%20light%20simulator

Spider lamb syndrome is a heritable congenital abnormality caused by a recessive gene that produces a range of skeletal deformities in lambs. The problem, which seem to have been first observed in the early 1970's, became a topic of serious concern to breeders in the early and middle 1980's. Many of the most popular bloodlines in the Suffolk and Hampshire breeds seemingly carried this damaging gene. Sheep which had tracings in their pedigrees to suspected carriers of this gene were said "grey" pedigrees, whereas those sheep which had no apparent incidence of carriers in their pedigrees were designated as "white pedigreed" sheep. 5, record 9, English, - spider%20syndrome
