"Space-qualified"

Designed, manufactured, or qualified through

successful testing, for operation at altitudes greater

than 100km above the surface of the Earth.

"space-qualified" if not individually tested.

"Superconductive"

Refers to materials, (i.e. metals, alloys or

compounds) which can lose all electrical resistance (i.e.

the

transition

temperature)

of

a

specific

the material loses all resistance to the flow of direct

electrical current.

Technical Note

The "superconductive" state of a material is

individually characterised by a "critical temperature", a

critical magnetic field, which is a function of

temperature, and a critical current density which is,

however, a function of both magnetic field and

temperature.

as instruction, skills, training, working knowledge,

consulting services. 'Technical assistance' may involve

transfer of 'technical data'.
