Une connexion électrique est nécessaire pour brancher les instruments médicaux qui surveillent le rythme cardiaque de l'astronaute. Elle est aussi nécessaire pour les systèmes de contrôle du scaphandre [ou de la combinaison] et pour l'équipement radio qui sert de liaison entre l'espace et la Terre. Pour ce faire, un harnais électrique est relié au torse supérieur rigide (HUT) du scaphandre sas. Pour l'enfiler, l'astronaute doit lever les bras et entrer dans le torse supérieur et passer la tête dans l'ouverture du cou. Une fois à l'intérieur, le vêtement de refroidissement et de ventilation au liquide se branche à l'équipement de vie principal. Les instruments médicaux sont également connectés au harnais électrique. 2, record 1, French, - harnais%20%C3%A9lectrique%20EMU

The Rack Interface Controller (RIC), Payload Internet Hub/Bridge (PIHB), and EXPRESS Memory Unit (EMU) connects the racks with the Station's Internet and video services. These units also control the EXPRESS Rack subsystem operations, allowing computer and video control from either on Station or the ground. The RIC coordinates and routes command and control functions, the PIHB provides the necessary interfaces, and the EMU has 320 MB of memory to store rack software and application programs and to help transfer files between payloads and the PIHB. 2, record 2, English, - EXPRESS%20memory%20unit

The Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) consists of an integrated Space Suit Assembly (SSA) and Life Support Subsystem (LSS) with other crew items designed for Extravehicular Activity (EVA) outside the shuttle Space Transportation System (STS) orbiter or ISS. The NASA EMU provides life support functions, such as oxygen supply, carbon dioxide removal, a pressurized enclosure, temperature control and micrometeoroid protection, so astronauts can leave their shirtsleeve environment and work effectively in space. 4, record 3, English, - extravehicular%20mobility%20unit

Although the term space suit is sometimes used to designate the "extravehicular mobility unit" [EMU], "space suit" is, in fact, synonymous with "space suit assembly" which is a component of the EMU. 3, record 3, English, - extravehicular%20mobility%20unit

La combinaison qui protège les astronautes lors de leurs sorties dans l'espace compte parmi les plus importantes et plus complexes pièces d'équipement à leur disposition. Elle est en fait un mini-vaisseau spatial, capable de fournir tout ce qui est nécessaire à la vie et à la sécurité des astronautes pendant qu'ils travaillent dans le vide spatial. Connue officiellement sous le nom de scaphandre EMU (pour Extravehicular Mobility Unit), la combinaison est constituée de deux composantes principales : la combinaison spatiale comme telle (SSA, pour Space Suit Assembly) et le système de survie de base (PLSS pour Primary Life Support System). 4, record 3, French, - combinaison%20EMU

Dans l'usage, les termes «combinaison spatiale» et «scaphandre spatial» sont souvent utilisés pour désigner à la fois un générique, le «extravehicular mobility unit (EMU)» et un spécifique, le «space suit assembly», qui est une composante de l'EMU. Pour solutionner ce problème, lorsque l'on veut désigner l'EMU, il convient de spécifier «combinaison EMU» ou «scaphandre EMU». 3, record 3, French, - combinaison%20EMU
