Ce véhicule lourd sera ensuite acheminé, sans équipage d’abord, vers une orbite très haute. Il aura à cet endroit une vitesse proche de celle qui est nécessaire pour s’échapper de l'attraction terrestre. La montée en spirale prendra environ un an et utilisera un moyen de propulsion ionique ou à plasma. Cette technologie fournit une poussée moins forte que la propulsion chimique conventionnelle à base d’hydrogène et d’oxygène, mais elle est plus efficace. [...] Une fois le vaisseau en place, une seconde fusée, à propulsion chimique cette fois-ci, amènera les membres de l'équipage en quelques jours seulement. 3, record 1, French, - fus%C3%A9e%20%C3%A0%20propulsion%20chimique

The Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) experiment is one of the highest priority scientific satellite instruments developed for EOS. CERES products include both solar-reflected and Earth-emitted radiation from the top of the atmosphere to the Earth's surface. Cloud properties are determined using simultaneous measurements by other EOS instruments such as the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS). Analyses of the CERES data, which build upon the foundation laid by previous missions such as the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE), will lead to a better understanding of the role of clouds and the energy cycle in global climate change. 3, record 2, English, - Clouds%20and%20Earth%27s%20Radiant%20Energy%20System

CERES-en anglais Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System(les Nuages et le Système d’Énergie Radiative de la Terre)-est un instrument scientifique de haute priorité qui est maintenant en orbite autour de la Terre. Il fait partie de l'Entreprise de Sciences de la Terre de la NASA. Les chercheurs l'utilisent pour étudier comment les nuages peuvent affecter le climat terrestre. 1, record 2, French, - Nuages%20et%20le%20Syst%C3%A8me%20d%27%C3%89nergie%20Radiative%20de%20la%20Terre
