Bulgarian | стремя се към върхове (reach for the sky). (various references) | |
Chinese | 空中 (in the air, in the sky), 半邊天 (half the sky, women folk, women of the new society), 星星 (star in the sky), 上空 (up overhead; in the sky). (various references) | |
Czech | to je hudba budoucnosti (it's all pie in the sky), vzdušné zámky (castles in spain, castles in the air, pie in the sky), plout po obloze (drift across the sky), přejíždìt po obloze (search the sky). (various references) | |
Danish | satellitten kan enten vaere en satellit,der er i kredsloeb omkring jorden,og som passerer henover boreplatformen,eller det kan vaere en synkron satellit;en synkron satellit har noejagtig samme hastighed som jordens omdrejningshastighed,hvorved den synkron (the satellite may be either an orbiting satellite making an overhead pass or it may be a synchronous satellite;the synchronous satellite has a velocity exactly equal to the earth's rotation speed, thus making the synchronous satellite appear motionless in the sky), himlens tilstand (sky condition, state of sky, state of the sky). (various references) | |
Dutch | wolkenhemel (sky condition, state of sky, state of the sky), de satelliet kan een om de aarde cirkelende satelliet zijn,die telkens over komt,of een synchrone satelliet;de snelheid van deze satelliet is precies gelijk aan de omwentelingssnelheid van de aarde,waardoor het lijkt of de synchrone satelliet een vaste (the satellite may be either an orbiting satellite making an overhead pass or it may be a synchronous satellite;the synchronous satellite has a velocity exactly equal to the earth's rotation speed, thus making the synchronous satellite appear motionless in the sky). (various references) | |
Finnish | taivas ruskottaa (there is a red glow in the sky), taivas punoittaa (the sky is a glowing red), taivas hohtaa punaisena (there is a red glow in the sky), taivaan tila (state of the sky). (various references) | |
French | le satellite peut être soit un satellite orbital effectuant des passages juste au-dessus du navire,soit un satellite synchrone(géosynchrone ou géostationnaire);le satellite synchrone se déplace à une vitesse strictement identique à la vitesse de rot (the satellite may be either an orbiting satellite making an overhead "pass" or it may be a synchronous satellite;the synchronous satellite has a velocity exactly equal to the earth's rotation speed, thus making the synchronous satellite appear motionless in the sky), dans le ciel (in the sky), état du ciel (state of the sky). (various references) | |
German | Sterne am Himmel (stars in the sky), Himmelsansicht (sky condition, state of sky, state of the sky), hände hoch (reach for the sky), der Satellit kann entweder ein ueber das Objekt hinwegziehender umlaufender oder ein synchron laufender Satellit sein;der synchron laufende Satellit hat eine Umlaufgeschwindigkeit,die genau der Rotationsgeschwindigkeit der Erde entspricht,so dass der sync (the satellite may be either an orbiting satellite making an overhead "pass" or it may be a synchronous satellite;the synchronous satellite has a velocity exactly equal to the earth's rotation speed, thus making the synchronous satellite appear motionless in the sky), am himmel (in the sky, overhead). (various references) | |
Greek | κατάσταση του ουρανού (sky condition, state of sky, state of the sky), μεσουρανά (high up in the sky), φρούδες ελπίδες (pie in the sky), ο δορυφόρος μπορεί να είναι,είτε ένας τροχιακός δορυφόρος,που πραγματοποιεί διελεύσεις ακριβώς πάνω από το πλοίο,είτε ένας ισό-χρονος δορυ (the satellite may be either an orbiting satellite making an overhead "pass" or it may be a synchronous satellite;the synchronous satellite has a velocity exactly equal to the earth's rotation speed, thus making the synchronous satellite appear motionless in the sky). (various references) | |
Hungarian | égboltról felhőket eloszlat (to uncloud the sky). (various references) | |
Indonesian | selangit (extraordinary, like the sky), mengawan (into the sky). (various references) | |
Italian | stato del cielo (sky condition, state of sky, state of the sky), il satellite puo essere orbitante,ed effettua dei passaggi giusto al di sopra della nave,o sincrono;il satellite sincrono ha una velocità esattamente uguale alla velocità di rotazione della terra,percio appare immobile nel cielo (the satellite may be either an orbiting satellite making an overhead "pass" or it may be a synchronous satellite;the synchronous satellite has a velocity exactly equal to the earth's rotation speed, thus making the synchronous satellite appear motionless in the sky). (various references) | |
