Tundra-Orbit — Ein Tundra Orbit ist die hoch elliptische Umlaufbahn eines geosynchronen Satelliten mit einer Inklination von meist 63,4°. 3 geostationäre Satelliten erfassen die gesamte Erde, aber lediglich bis zu einer geografischen Breite von maximal 81,3°.… … Deutsch Wikipedia
Orbit — This article is about orbits in celestial mechanics, due to gravity. For other uses, see Orbit (disambiguation). A satellite orbiting the Earth has a tangential velocity and an inward acceleration … Wikipedia
Orbit of the Moon — Not to be confused with Lunar orbit in the sense of a selenocentric orbit, that is, an orbit around the Moon The Moon completes its orbit around the Earth in approximately 27.3 days (a sidereal month). The Earth and Moon orbit about their… … Wikipedia
Orbit equation — In astrodynamics an orbit equation defines the path of orbiting body around central body relative to , without specifying position as a function of time. Under standard assumptions, a body moving under the influence of a force, directed to a… … Wikipedia
Orbit phasing — In astrodynamics orbit phasing is the adjustment of the time position of spacecraft along its orbit, usually described as adjusting the orbiting spacecraft s true anomaly. This is predominantly used in satellite positioning, especially if the… … Wikipedia
Geocentric orbit — Earth orbit redirects here. For the motion of the Earth around the Sun, see Earth s orbit. Earth orbiter redirects here. For the shuttle simulator, see Earth Orbiter 1. The following words may have more than one definition or other non Earth… … Wikipedia
Molniya orbit — For other uses, see Molniya (disambiguation). Figure 1: The Molniya orbit. Usually the period from perigee + 2 hours to perigee + 10 hours is used to transmit to the northern hemisphere Molniya orbit is a type of highly elliptical orbit with an… … Wikipedia
Elliptic orbit — A small body in space orbits a large one (like a planet around the sun) along an elliptical path, with the large body being located at one of the ellipse foci … Wikipedia
Geostationärer Orbit — geostationäre Umlaufbahn Eine geosynchrone Umlaufbahn ist ein Satellitenorbit mit einer Umlaufzeit um die Erde, die der Rotationsdauer der Erde um ihre eigene Achse (23 Stunden, 56 Minuten, 4,09 Sekunden = 1 siderischer Tag) entspricht. Seine… … Deutsch Wikipedia
Highly 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… … Wikipedia
