The Extended Duration Orbiter program was a project by NASA to prepare for long-term (months) microgravity research aboard Space Station Freedom, which later evolved into the International Space Station. Scientists and NASA needed practical experience in managing progressively longer times for their experiments. The original space shuttle configuration usually provided a week to ten days of spaceflight. 1, record 9, English, - Extended%20Duration%20Orbiter

A measurement of interest rate risk exposure based on price risk and reinvestment risk. 2, record 10, English, - duration
Record number: 10, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Price risk is the chance that interest rates will rise, reducing the market value of an investment; reinvestment risk is the chance that interest rates will fall, so that cash flows from the original instrument can only be reinvested at a lower rate than they had been earning. Obviously, price risk and reinvestment risk move in opposite directions. The decline in the price of a bond in relation to a change in interest rates can be tied directly to the duration of the bond. 2, record 10, English, - duration
