The Zarya control module, also known by the technical term Functional Cargo Block and the Russian acronym FGB, was the first component launched for the International Space Station and provides the station's initial propulsion and power. ... The U.S.-funded and Russian-built Zarya, which means Sunrise when translated to English, is a U.S. component of the station although it was built and launched by Russia. ... The Zarya module is 41.2 feet long and 13.5 feet wide at its widest point. It has an operational lifetime of at least 15 years. Its solar arrays and six nickel-cadmium batteries can provide an average of 3 kilowatts of electrical power. Using the Russian Kurs system, the Zarya will perform an automated and remotely piloted rendezvous and docking with the Service Module in orbit. Its docking power will accommodate Russian Soyuz piloted spacecraft and unpiloted Progress resupply spacecraft. Each of the two solar arrays is 35 feet long and 11 feet wide. The module's 16 fuel tanks combined can hold more than 6 tons of propellant. The attitude control system for the module includes 24 large steering jets and 12 small steering jets. Two large engines are available for reboosting the spacecraft and making major orbital changes. 6, record 5, English, - Zarya%20control%20module

The Zarya module now provides orientation control, communications and electrical power attached to the passive Unity module while the station awaits launch of the third component, a Russian-provided crew living quarters and early station core known as the Service Module ... The Service Module will enhance or replace many functions of the Zarya. Later in the station's assembly sequence, the Zarya module will be used primarily for its storage capacity and external fuel tanks. 6, record 5, English, - Zarya%20control%20module

In addition to connecting to Zarya module, Unity eventually will provide attachment points for the U.S. laboratory module [Destiny] ; Node 3 ; an early exterior framework, or truss for the station, called the Z-1 truss ; an airlock ; and a multi-windowed cupola. 10, record 6, English, - Unity%20connecting%20module

The wind is a continuous succession of gusts and lulls (quiet intervals) associated with equally rapid changes of direction over a range which may exceed 30°. The mean wind speed over a period of time is therefore the mean of many gusts and lulls. Usually only the mean wind is forecast, unless the gusts are expected to be a significant feature. For instance, fresh, gusty southwest winds indicates that the mean wind speed will be between 17 and 21 knots and the mean wind direction will be from the southwest, but that there will also be gusts to speeds significantly higher than the mean. 8, record 9, English, - mean%20wind%20speed

Deux critères permettent de décrire cette vitesse du vent en surface : la vitesse moyenne rapportée à un intervalle de temps assez long, en principe dix minutes pour le vent en surface dit synoptique et la vitesse instantanée ou vitesse de pointe, rapportée à un intervalle de temps très court, de l'ordre de la seconde. La vitesse du vent est habituellement mesurée en mètres par seconde, en kilomètres par heure ou en nœuds(un nœud correspond à 1, 852 kilomètres par heure, soit approximativement 0, 5 mètre par seconde). Dans les régions maritimes, on repère également la vitesse moyenne du vent à l'aide de l'échelle anémométrique internationale Beaufort. 3, record 9, French, - vitesse%20moyenne%20du%20vent
