Sentence examples for in orbit insertion from inspiring English sources

The 5-year cruise on space from the failure in orbit insertion in 2010 and the successful Venus orbit insertion in 2015 could have degraded the quality of the camera causing instrumental problems like a greater number of dead pixels.

Using Io to help capture the spacecraft can increase the savings in Jupiter orbit insertion ΔV over a Ganymede-aided capture.

The study concentrated on the orbiter and orbit insertion, largely treating the in situ element as a black box with data relay requirements.

At arrival the low thrust arcs reduce the approach velocity so much that BepiColombo passes by the Sun Mercury Lagrange points L1 and L2 and gets weakly captured in a highly eccentric orbit around Mercury in case the orbit insertion manoeuvre would fail.

This mismatch was not revealed in the pre-launch ground calibration and appears to have developed during the long cruise and higher than planned solar exposure experienced by the Akatsuki orbiter during the first missed opportunity and the orbit insertion in December 2015 (Nakamura et al. 2016).

These anomalies were not present in the laboratory images and in the images acquired during the first orbit insertion attempt in 2010.

The LIR images acquired immediately after the failure of orbit insertion in 2010 showed that the mean brightness temperature at the low latitudes in the nightside of Venus was ~ 243 K.

MESSENGER's third Mercury flyby on 29 September 2009, the last prior to orbit insertion in 2011, largely duplicated the geometry of the second but added new observations of the planet's surface and a new perspective on the in situ environment as solar activity continues to change.

Star fields of Sagittarius and Scorpius were measured during cruising (Oct . 2010 before Venus orbit insertion) and in orbit (Feb. and Sep. 2016).
