Sealant

Deutsch: Dichtungsmittel / Español: Sellador / Português: Selante / Français: Scellant / Italiano: Sigillante

In the space industry, a sealant is a critical material used to prevent the leakage of fluids, gases, or other substances from spacecraft components. Sealants play a vital role in ensuring the integrity and reliability of spacecraft systems, particularly in extreme environments encountered during space missions. They are essential for maintaining the functionality of various spacecraft subsystems, including propulsion, thermal control, and life support systems.

Identity

Deutsch: Identität / Español: Identidad / Português: Identidade / Français: Identité / Italiano: Identità

In the Space industry, identity refers to the unique characteristics and identifiers associated with spacecraft, satellites, and other space assets, which distinguish them from one another. This concept is Critical for tracking, managing, and securing these assets throughout their lifecycle.

Multimeter

Deutsch: Multimeter / Español: Multímetro / Português: Multímetro / Français: Multimètre / Italiano: Multimetro

A multimeter is an essential tool in the space industry, used for measuring electrical parameters such as voltage, current, and resistance. It plays a crucial role in ensuring the reliability and safety of electronic systems in spacecraft and satellites. Multimeters are designed to withstand extreme conditions, making them indispensable for space missions.

Projection

Deutsch: Projektion / Español: proyección / Português: projeção / Français: projection / Italiano: proiezione

The term Projection plays a pivotal role in the space industry, where it encompasses both mathematical transformations and strategic planning for missions, trajectories, and data visualization. It bridges the gap between abstract calculations and real-world applications, ensuring precision in navigation, mapping, and system design. Without accurate projections, space exploration would lack the reliability required for complex operations.
