PEC航空英语证书考试-飞行器术语 Abort - Early mission termination due to failure(s) that preclude mission continuation. Return to Earth of the crew is accomplished inside the spacecraft designed for Earth return and landing (see Abort to Earth, Abort to Orbit). Abort to Earth - Early mission termination, with direct return to the Earths surface as the immediate objective. Abort to Orbit - An early mission termination that has an immediate objective of placing the flight system (CEV) in Earth orbit, prior to return to the Earths surface. Acceptance Tests - Tests conducted to verify that hardware delivered to higher-level assembly prior to delivery to the flight test and prior to delivery to the operational inventory or for operational spares conforms to program requirements. Acceptance testing also includes final sell-off of the fully assembled CEV. Annunciate - To provide a visual, tactile or audible indication. Ascent - The time from liftoff from the Earths surface, to spacecraft insertion into Earth orbit. Ascent Abort - Early mission termination due to failure(s) that preclude mission continuation. Return to Earth of the crew is accomplished inside the spacecraft designed for Earth return and landing. Attitude and Pointing Constraints - Constraints, restrictions or requirements on the vehicles orientation in space. These may include things such as requirements to orient a sensor at a specific target (such as a specific star), or a constraint limiting the amount of time a vehicle axis can be oriented toward a particular target (such as the sun, or deep space). They also include constraints or restrictions on maneuver rates and attitude deadbands. Automated control - Automatic, as opposed to human operation or control of a process, equipment or a system; or the techniques and equipment used to achieve this. Automation is the control or execution of actions with no human interaction. Automated control does not exclude the capability for manual intervention / commanding, but manua
