Argos program

In addition, various interfaces to the system also known as gimbals have been developed to provide a full range of natural motion for a realistic simulation. These gimbals have been developed for both human suited and shirt-sleeve and robotic subjects, and are specialized for various test situations such as planetary gravities or microgravity.

The vertical axis connects to the load with a steel cable and measures the load on the system with an in-line load cell that is constantly monitored by the control system.

The control system commands the motor to raise or lower as the subject moves to maintain a constant offload force. The horizontal axes are driven by electric motors that are attached to friction drive wheels which drive on the underside of the trolley rails. Motion of the subject is measured by a cable angle sensor, which is used to command the system to keep the lifting mechanism centered above the load.

This means that a force in any direction results in constant velocity motion until another force acts on the payload, which results in high fidelity testing and training. The goal of AAP is to enhance the college experience by providing assistance with making connections on campus and navigating Argo life. Each student with Autism Spectrum Disorder is unique which is why we offer a variety of services to assist students during their academic journey.

Our staff will assist students in choosing the best resource plan to help reach their academic, social, and professional goals. Please complete the form, and we will send you additional information regarding our program. Its primary objective is to advance space technology and use its applications for national benefit. SARAL will perform altimetric measurements designed to study ocean circulation and sea surface elevation. Home Argos Who we are The Argos system, an international cooperation.

The purpose of the program is for scientific research on warm water in the equatorial ocean affecting world climate change. This long-term oceanography projects measures telemetering oceanographic and meteorological data in the Tropical Pacific Ocean region and sends them to shore in real-time via Argos.

Tropical Atmosphere Ocean project website. The Argo program comprises a network of oceanography floats belonging to 25 countries. Some data collected from these floats, including temperature and salinity profiles, are relayed by Argos.
