"Space-qualified"

Designed, manufactured, or qualified through

successful testing, for operation at altitudes greater

than 100 km above the surface of the Earth.

Note A determination that a specific item is

that other items in the same production run or model

series are "space-qualified" if not individually

tested.

"Superconductive"

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

compounds) which can lose all electrical resistance

(i.e. which can attain infinite electrical conductivity

and carry very large electrical currents without Joule

heating).

"Critical temperature" (sometimes referred to

as the transition temperature) of a specific

"superconductive" material is the temperature at

which 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.

Note "Critical temperatures" (sometimes

referred to as the transition temperature) of a

specific "supercondutive" material is the

temperature at which the material loses all

resistance to the flow of direct electrical current.

blueprints, plans, diagrams, models, formulae,

tables, engineering designs and specifications,

manuals and instructions written or recorded on

other media or devices such as disk, tape, read- only

memories.

2. "Technical assistance" may take forms

such as instruction, skills, training, working

knowledge,

consulting

services.
