R bar approach of the space shuttle towards the satellite ... along the radius vector.

OBS

For visualization purposes, the station's direction of motion is called the velocity vector, or V-bar for short. By convention, points in front of the station are said to be on the positive V-bar while points behind are considered negative. The imaginary line connecting the station with the center of the Earth is called the radius vector, or R-bar. Points directly below the station along this line are considered positive while points above are considered negative. Endeavour, then, will approach the station along the plus R-bar. The station will be oriented with its long axis aligned with the velocity vector, with the Unity module in "front" and Zvezda behind. Unity's nadir and zenith ports will be oriented as their names imply. This orientation, or attitude, is known as "XVV," i.e., the station's X axis is aligned with the velocity vector. The terminal rendezvous sequence will begin with a rocket firing (TI) as Endeavour trails the station by about eight nautical miles. Once the shuttle reaches the plus R-bar, commander Brent Jett will guide the ship up from directly below. As he nears the station, he will yaw the shuttle 180 degrees so its tail is pointing in the direction of motion and its nose toward the minus V-bar. Assuming a good linkup, the shuttle will begin controlling the station's orientation for the duration of Endeavour's mission, moving the lab back into an "X-POP" attitude with the station's X axis perpendicular to the plane of its orbit. In this orientation, the long axis of the station is broadside to the velocity vector.

OBS

R-bar approach: term officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).

PHR

Minus R-bar approach.

Domaine(s)
  • Lancement et manœuvres dans l'espace
OBS

[L'] alignement du port d'amarrage de Mir avec celui situé dans la soute de la navette [...] doit être positionné sur une ligne imaginaire baptisée «R-bar», allant de Mir au centre de la Terre. Il s'agit de mettre à profit la mécanique céleste, qui veut que plus l'orbite est basse, plus la vitesse de rotation autour de la Terre est rapide. En s'approchant «par en-dessous» de la station, l'avion spatial bénéficie d'un freinage naturel.

OBS

approche en R-bar : terme uniformisé par le Groupe de travail de la terminologie de la Station spatiale internationale (GTTSSI).

Available in both upright and pendent models, this commercial quick response sprinkler is designed for wet pipe fire protection systems. The fusible link assembly includes a pair of thin copper halves joined by a layer of solder. When heat is applied, the solder melts and the two halves separate, allowing the sprinkler to activate.

OBS

quick-response fire sprinkler: term officially approved by the Lexicon Project Committee (New Brunswick).

OBS

With-flow drying is not recommended when the wet material is sensitive to temperature (formation of crust, as on many town sewage sludges); in the case of counter-flow drying, the dried material may not withstand the radiation from the hot gases.

OBS

Le séchage co-courant est à déconseiller lorsque le matériau humide est sensible à la température (formation de croûtes constatée pour de nombreuses boues résiduaires urbaines); dans le séchage à contre-courant, le matériau séché peut ne pas supporter le rayonnement des gaz chauds.
