V-BAR [5 fiches]

Fiche 1 2007-01-31

Anglais

Subject field(s)
  • Launching and Space Maneuvering
DEF

The path of a satellite around a body ... under the influence of gravity.

CONT

For reference, the station's orbital path is known as the velocity vector, or V-bar.

CONT

The plane of RADARSAT-1’s orbit is aligned so that it is at right angles to the sun as shown in the diagram to the left. This orbital path is synchronized (to always face the sun) and to maintain this orientation throughout the year.

OBS

RADARSAT-1 requires 24 days to return to its original orbit path.

OBS

orbital path: term officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).

  • Lancement et manœuvres dans l'espace
DEF

Trajectoire d'un satellite autour d'un corps influencé par la gravité.

CONT

Le satellite [...] tourne [...] dans une trajectoire orbitale à 35 786 km au-dessus de la Terre.

CONT

RADARSAT-1 est un satellite en orbite basse terrestre, à environ 800 km au-dessus de la surface de la Terre. Le plan de l'orbite est aligné de façon à être perpendiculaire au soleil, comme on peut le voir dans le diagramme de gauche. Cette trajectoire orbitale est synchronisée afin de toujours faire face au soleil et de conserver cette orientation tout au long de l'année.

OBS

La trajectoire orbitale du satellite se répétant à tous les 24 jours, on peut réobserver plus fréquemment la plupart des régions de la planète.

OBS

trajectoire orbitale : terme uniformisé par le Groupe de travail de la terminologie de la Station spatiale internationale (GTTSSI).

Fiche 2 2003-12-08

Anglais

Subject field(s)
  • Launching and Space Maneuvering
CONT

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.

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.

Subject field(s)
  • Launching and Space Maneuvering
CONT

Positioned directly in front of the station's long axis, Bloomfield will manually guide Atlantis in so the docking system in the shuttle's cargo bay can mate with its counterpart on the pressurized mating adapter, or PMA. "We call it a V-bar approach, "Bloomfield said, referring to the station's velocity vector. "We’ll fly below the international space station and then we’ll fly all the way around out into the front, into what we call the V-bar, but we’re flying now out in front of the station. And then finally, we’ll fly in on that V-bar until we dock. "

Fiche 5 2002-02-19

Anglais

Subject field(s)
  • Flight Instruments and Equipment (Aeroindustry)
CONT

V-bar : Flight Director Indicator... The V-bar command indicator is a pair of yellow, wedge-shaped V-bars that move up or down to command a climb or descent, and roll left or right to command a bank. The flight director system commands the V-bars to capture and track the selected heading or radio signals; or to maintain a desired pitch angle, glidepath, or an optimum speed during SC(speed command) operation. To satisfy the commands, the aircraft is maneuvered so that the airplane symbol is flown into the V-bars until the two are aligned. Input signals to the V-bars depend upon the mode of operation. The V-bars are biased from view by the instrument failure warning system; when loss of signal occurs, or sensing circuits fail that are associated with the selected mode of operation. They are also out of view when the mode selector control is in the OFF position.

L'indicateur HZ-4 [horizon directeur de vol] assume deux fonctions. Il réalise la combinaison d'un horizon artificiel et d'un indicateur de tendances du type "zero reader". [...] Les deux barres, verticales et horizontale, sont les barres de tendance liées au calculateur de vol. La barre verticale reçoit les informations du canal de direction, la barre horizontale celles fournies par le canal de profondeur.

CONT

[...], dès que l'avion ne sera plus dans la situation requise, les 2 barres ou repères, appelés BARRES ou REPÈRES DE TENDANCES ne seront plus dans une position médiane vis à vis du cadran de l'indicateur.

OBS

barre de tendance : terme accepté par le Comité d'étude de la terminologie des cartes de travail du DC-9.
