Coat Of Arms Of The Brazilian Air Force
A coat typically is an outer garment for the upper body as worn by either gender for warmth or fashion. Coats typically have long sleeves and are open down the front and closing by means of buttons, zippers, hook-and-loop fasteners, toggles, a belt, or a combination of some of these. Other possible features include collars, shoulder straps and hoods. Etymology ''Coat'' is one of the earliest clothing category words in English, attested as far back as the early Middle Ages. (''See also'' Clothing terminology.) The Oxford English Dictionary traces ''coat'' in its modern meaning to c. 1300, when it was written ''cote'' or ''cotte''. The word coat stems from Old French and then Latin ''cottus.'' It originates from the Proto-Indo-European word for woolen clothes. An early use of ''coat'' in English is coat of mail (chainmail), a tunic-like garment of metal rings, usually knee- or mid-calf length. History The origins of the Western-style coat can be traced to the sleeved, clo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
CINDACTA
The air traffic control centers of Brazil are known by the acronym CINDACTA, or "Centro Integrado de Defesa Aérea e Controle de Tráfego Aéreo (Integrated Air Traffic Control and Air Defense Center). Four CINDACTAs are in operation, located in four cities and each responsible for different regions of Brazil's airspace. *Cindacta I located in Brasília, near Pres. Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport: the square comprising Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Belo Horizonte and Brasília *Cindacta II located in Curitiba, near Bacacheri Airport: Southern Region, Mato Grosso do Sul and the southern part of São Paulo *Cindacta III located in Recife, near Recife/Guararapes-Gilberto Freyre International Airport: Northeast Region and the ocean between Brazil and Africa and Europe *Cindacta IV located in Manaus, near Eduardo Gomes International Airport: Brazilian Amazon Region The use of military air traffic controllers for civilian traffic is not unusual. In the US, the Federal Av ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
SABIA-Mar
The SABIA-Mar (Spanish: ), originally called SAC-E by CONAE, is a dual satellite joint Earth observation mission. The mission objective is to study the oceanic biosphere, its changes over time, and how it is affected by and reacts to human activity. It will focus on the monitoring of ocean surfaces, especially studying the ocean ecosystem, the carbon cycle, and marine habitats, as well as ocean mapping. This collaboration between the Argentine (CONAE) and the Brazilian ( AEB) space agencies was originally supposed to make two identical spacecraft with Argentina supplying the payload and Brazil the satellite bus. The satellites, SABIA-Mar A and SABIA-Mar B, were supposed to fly in 2017 and 2018, and operate until 2021. By 2016, CONAE announced that a new agreement had been reached, where Argentina would build SABIA-Mar 1, and Brazil would build SABIA-Mar 2. The Argentine satellite, SABIA-Mar 1, is supposed to fly in 2024. SABIA-Mar 1 SABIA-Mar 1 will be designed and built by ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Amazônia-1
The Amazônia-1 or SSR-1 (in Portuguese: ''Satélite de Sensoriamento Remoto-1''), is the first Earth observation satellite developed by Brazil, helped by Argentina's INVAP, who provided the main computer, attitude controls and sensors, and the training of Brazilian engineers, and launched at 04:54:00 UTC (10:24:00 IST) on 28 February 2021. Operations will be joint with the China–Brazil Earth Resources Satellite program (CBERS-4) satellite. Background In the early 1990s, the design of SSR (Satélite de Sensoriamento Remoto) satellites, Amazônia-1 precursor, was revised and Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) technicians proposed replacing the polar orbit by an equatorial orbit, and this proposal was accepted. That made sense at that time as Brazil already had polar orbit coverage with the CBERS satellites. SSR-1 suffered several delays, either by lack of resources, or bid disputes. The effective start only occurred in 2001, when a contract was signed for t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

SGDC-1
The Geostationary Defense and Strategic Communications Satellite or SGDC (in Portuguese: ''Satélite Geoestacionário de Defesa e Comunicações Estratégicas'') is a Brazilian geostationary communication satellite that was built by Thales Alenia Space in France, it was placed in the orbital position of 75 degrees west longitude and will be operated by Telebrás. Telebrás selected Viasat as a partner to help build the associated ground system. The satellite was based on the Spacebus-4000 platform and its life expectancy will be 18 years. The satellite was successfully launched into space on May 4, 2017, at 21:52 UTC, by means of an Ariane 5 vehicle from the French company Arianespace, launched from Guiana Space Centre, Kourou, French Guiana, together with the Koreasat 7. It had a launch mass of 12,800 pounds (5,800 kg). The SGDC will be equipped with 50 Ka band transponders and 5 X band transponders to provide broadband internet and communications to the Brazilian gover ...

Satélite De Coleta De Dados
''Satélite de Coleta de Dados'' (SCD, Portuguese for "Data-Collecting Satellite") is a series of satellites developed in Brazil. SCD-1 The first one, SCD-1, was launched on February 9, 1993, and was the first satellite developed entirely in Brazil and it remains in operation in orbit to this date. SCD-1 was designed, developed, built, and tested by Brazilian scientists, engineers, and technicians working at National Institute of Space Research and in Brazilian industries. It was made to be launched with a Brazilian rocket in 1989. Once it was officially recognized that the rocket could not be completed until many years later, SCD-1, after undergoing minor adaptations, was finally launched with a Pegasus rocket made by Orbital Sciences. The rocket was launched from a B-52 airplane while flying over the Atlantic Ocean. SCD-1 is an experimental communication satellite with an environmental mission. It receives data collected on the ground or at sea by hundreds of automatic data- ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
