Orbital 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 … Wikipedia
Orbital hybridisation — Four sp3 orbitals. Three sp2 orbitals. In … Wikipedia
Orbital 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… … Wikipedia
Orbital 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… … Wikipedia

Orbital 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… … Wikipedia
Orbital 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… … Wikipedia
Orbital 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… … Wikipedia
Orbital 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… … Wikipedia
Orbital 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… … Wikipedia
