trajectory speed
1Trajectory — is the path a moving object follows through space. The object might be a projectile or a satellite, for example. It thus includes the meaning of orbit the path of a planet, an asteroid or a comet as it travels around a central mass. A trajectory… …
2Trajectory optimization — is the process of designing a trajectory that minimizes or maximizes some measure of performance. While not exactly the same, the goal of solving a trajectory optimization problem is essentially the same as solving an optimal control problem. The …
3Orbital 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… …
4Hyperbolic trajectory — In astrodynamics or celestial mechanics a hyperbolic trajectory is a Kepler orbit with the eccentricity greater than 1. Under standard assumptions a body traveling along this trajectory will coast to infinity, arriving there with hyperbolic… …
5High-speed rail in the United Kingdom — The United Kingdom has four classic main railway lines operating at convert|125|mph|km/h|sigfig=2, plus convert|108|km|mi|sigfig=1 of High Speed 1 high speed line.The fastest current UK domestic services operate at convert|125|mph|km/h|sigfig=2… …
6Aft-crossing trajectory — In 2005, a new trajectory that an air launched rocket could take to put satellites into orbit was tested. Until this time, launch vehicles such as the Pegasus rocket, or rocket planes such as the X 1, X 15, or SpaceShipOne, which were carried… …
7Clay pigeon shooting — A sailor takes aim as a clay pigeon is launched from the forecastle of the USS Mason (DDG 87). Clay pigeon shooting, also known as clay target shooting …
