102Highly Elliptical Orbit — (HEO) is an elliptic orbit characterized by a relatively low altitude perigee and an extremely high altitude apogee. These extremely elongated orbits can have the advantage of long dwell times at a point in the sky during the approach to and… …
103geostationary orbit — a circular orbit 35,785 km (22,236 miles) above Earth s (Earth) Equator in which a satellite s (satellite) orbital period is equal to Earth s rotation period of 23 hours and 56 minutes. A spacecraft in this orbit appears to an observer on… …
104Earth to orbit — (ETO) describes the process or means of placing a payload into an orbit around the Earth. Traditionally this has used rockets, however ETO can also include much more exotic forms of transportation such as railguns and hypersonic cannons and Space …
105Three-stage-to-orbit — The three stage to orbit launch system is a commonly used rocket system to attain Earth orbit. The spacecraft uses three distinct stages to provide propulsion consecutively in order to achieve orbital velocity. Examples of three stage to orbit… …
106Astron (spacecraft) — Astron was a Soviet astrophysical spacecraft launched on March 23 1983 at 12:45:06 UTC by Proton launcher. [ [http://planet4589.org/space/log/launchlog.txt Jonathan McDowell s launchlog] ] It was based on Venera spacecraft design. Astron was… …
107Near equatorial orbit — A near equatorial orbit is an orbit that lies close to the equatorial plane of the object orbited. This orbit allows for rapid revisit times (for a single orbiting spacecraft) of near equatorial ground sites. See also * List of orbits *… …
108List of Cosmic Era warships and spacecraft — This is a list of fictional warships and spacecraft from the Cosmic Era (CE) timeline of the Gundam anime metaseries.Like any military organization, the factions in the Cosmic Era depend on multiple ships to fulfill a wide variety of tasks.… …

110Non-inclined orbit — A non inclined orbit is an orbit which is contained in the plane of reference. The inclination is 0 for prograde orbits, and π (180°) for retrograde orbits. If the plane of reference is the equator, these orbits are called equatorial; if the… …
