111Orbital perturbation analysis (spacecraft) — Isaac Newton in his Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica demonstrated that the gravitational force between two mass points is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the points and fully solved corresponding two body… …
112Orbital state vectors — In astrodynamics or celestial dynamics orbital state vectors (sometimes state vectors) are vectors of position ( ) and velocity ( ) that together with their time (epoch) ( ) uniquely determine the state of an orbiting body. State vectors are… …
113Orbital airship — Space blimp redirects here. For airships used in a role similar to satellites, see stratospheric airship. The orbital airship, also called the space blimp, is a proposed space transportation system that carries payloads to and from low Earth… …
114Orbital speed — Not to be confused with Escape Velocity. The orbital speed of a body, generally a planet, a natural satellite, an artificial satellite, or a multiple star, is the speed at which it orbits around the barycenter of a system, usually around a more… …
115Orbital spaceflight — Discovery rockets to orbital velocity, seen here just after booster separation An orbital spaceflight (or orbital flight) is a spaceflight in which a spacecraft is placed on a trajectory where it could remain in space for at least one orbit. To… …
116Orbital station-keeping — In astrodynamics orbital station keeping is a term used to describe the orbital maneuvers made by thruster burns that are needed to keep a spacecraft in a particular assigned orbit. For many Earth satellites the effects of the non Keplerian… …
117Orbital period — For the music album, see Orbital Period (album). The orbital period is the time taken for a given object to make one complete orbit about another object. When mentioned without further qualification in astronomy this refers to the sidereal period …
118Orbital eccentricity — This article is about eccentricity in astrodynamics. For other uses, see Eccentricity (disambiguation). An elliptic Kepler orbit with an eccentricity of 0.7 (red), a parabolic Kepler orbit (green) and a hyperbolic Kepler orbit with an… …
119Orbital molecular — En química cuántica, los orbitales moleculares son los orbitales (funciones matemáticas) que describen el comportamiento ondulatorio que pueden tener los electrones en las moléculas. Estas funciones pueden usarse para calcular propiedades… …
120Orbital Space Plane Program — Conceptual drawings of the Orbital Space Plane The Orbital Space Plane (OSP) program was a NASA concept[when?] designed to support the International Space Station requirements for crew r …
