The project is named the Autonomous Space Processor for Orbital Debris(ASPOD) and is a NASA/Universities Space Research Association(USRA) sponsored design project. The development of ASPOD and the students’ abilities in designing and building a prototype spacecraft are the ultimate goals of this project. This year's focus entailed the development of a secondary robotic arm and end-effector to work in tandem with an existent arm in the removal of orbital debris. The new arm features the introduction of composite materials and a linear drive system, thus producing a light-weight and more accurate prototype. The main characteristic of the end-effector design is that it incorporates all of the motors and gearing internally, thus not subjecting them to the harsh space environment. Furthermore, the arm and the end-effector are automated by a control system with positional feedback. This system is composed of magnetic and optical encoders connected to a 486 PC via two servo-motor controller cards. Programming a series of basic routines and sub-routines has allowed the ASPOD prototype to become more autonomous. The new system is expected to perform specified tasks with a positional accuracy of 0. 5 cm.  2, fiche 1, Anglais, - autonomous%20space%20processor%20for%20orbital%20debris

ARM is an operational mode in which the secondary may initiate transmission without receiving explicit permission from the primary. Such an asynchronous transmission contain single or multiple frames and is used for information field transfer(...)  2, fiche 3, Anglais, - asynchronous%20response%20mode

To karyotype refers to the systematic display of all the chromosomes in a single somatic cell. Morphologic identification is based on the relative size of the chromosomes, their arm ratio, and certain secondary morphologic features. Individual human chromosomes can now be identified after staining with various banding techniques.  1, fiche 4, Anglais, - karyotype

Les caractères morphologiques différents des chromosomes dans les noyaux en division permettent d'établir des caryotypes [c'est-à-dire un classement] par paire d'homologues. Pour ce faire, on s'appuie sur la longueur des chromosomes, sur la position de leur centromère, sur leur forme... L'établissement du caryotype, dans l'espèce humaine, permet de déceler des anomalies portant, entre autres, sur le nombre de chromosomes; dans le cas du mongolisme par exemple, il existe un chromosome surnuméraire de la 21e paire (Trisomie 21).  1, fiche 4, Français, - %C3%A9tablir%20un%20caryotype
