Parachute
Canopy: The most visible part of a parachute is its canopy, which is typically made of strong, lightweight fabric. The canopy is designed to catch and manipulate air to create drag, slowing down the descent of the object or person attached to it.
Suspension Lines: Parachutes are attached to their payload (whether a person or object) by a series of suspension lines. These lines distribute the weight of the payload evenly across the canopy and provide stability during descent.
Descent Rate: The descent rate of a parachute is determined by factors such as canopy size, payload weight, and air density. Parachutes are designed to achieve a safe and controlled descent rate to ensure a soft landing for the payload or user.
Thermographic camera
Infrared Detection: Thermographic cameras detect infrared radiation emitted by objects, which is invisible to the human eye. They can detect temperatures ranging from below freezing to several hundred degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.
Field of View (FOV): The field of view of a thermographic camera determines the area of the scene that is captured in the thermal image. Cameras may have fixed or adjustable FOVs, and the choice depends on the specific application.
Image Display: Thermographic cameras display thermal images in various formats, including grayscale, color palettes, and pseudo-colors. Different color palettes may be used to enhance the visibility of temperature variations or highlight specific temperature ranges within the image.
Caravel
Lateen Sails: Caravels were rigged with lateen sails, triangular sails that allowed the ship to sail closer to the wind than traditional square sails. This rigging gave caravels a significant advantage in maneuverability and made them well-suited for long-distance ocean voyages.
Three-Masted Ship: Caravels were typically equipped with three masts: a large main mast and two smaller masts, the foremast and mizzenmast. The use of multiple masts allowed for greater flexibility in sail configuration and improved maneuverability.
Size and Design: Caravels were relatively small ships, typically ranging from 50 to 100 feet (15 to 30 meters) in length. They had a narrow hull and were relatively light, which made them fast and agile in the water.
Space Suit
Communication system: worn under the helmet, earphones and microphones connect to the radio on the spacesuit and enable the astronaut to talk to other crew members and mission control
Life support system: a backpack that circulates oxygen, pressurizes the suit, removes carbon dioxide, provides electricity and water, and holds a two-way radio for communication
Hard upper torso: this lightweight, strong layer connects the inside of the suit to the portable life support system. It’s shaped like a sleeveless shirt with an arm assembly that connects to the gloves.
