orbital effect
1Orbital decay — is the process of prolonged reduction in the altitude of a satellite s orbit. This can be due to drag produced by an atmosphere due to frequent collisions between the satellite and surrounding air molecules. The drag experienced by the object is… …
2Orbital forcing — is the effect on climate of slow changes in the tilt of the Earth s axis and shape of the orbit (see Milankovitch cycles). These orbital changes change the total amount of sunlight reaching the Earth by up to 25% at mid latitudes (from 400 to 500 …
3Orbital magnetization — Orbital magnetization, , refers to the magnetization induced by orbital motion of charged particles, usually electrons, in solids. The term orbital distinguishes it from the contribution of spin degrees of freedom, , to the total magnetization. A …
4Orbital elements — are the parameters required to uniquely identify a specific orbit. In celestial mechanics these elements are generally considered in classical two body systems, where a Kepler orbit is used (derived from Newton s laws of motion and Newton s law… …
5Orbital inclination change — is an orbital maneuver aimed at changing the inclination of an orbiting body s orbit. This maneuver is also known as an orbital plane change as the plane of the orbit is tipped. This maneuver requires a change in the orbital velocity vector… …
6Orbital lymphoma — Classification and external resources ICD 9 202.8 ICD O: 9710–9719 Orbital lymp …
7Orbital mechanics — A satellite orbiting the earth has a tangential velocity and an inward acceleration. Orbital mechanics or astrodynamics is the application of ballistics and celestial mechanics to the practical problems concerning the motion of rockets and other… …
8Orbital 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… …
9Orbital 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… …
10Orbital maneuver — In spaceflight, an orbital maneuver is the use of propulsion systems to change the orbit of a spacecraft. For spacecraft far from Earth for example those in orbits around the Sun an orbital maneuver is called a deep space maneuver (DSM).[not… …
