Sentence examples for orbit plane from inspiring English sources

Within these equations, the orbit shape and in-plane orientation are influenced by accelerations which are in the orbital plane; the orientation of the orbit plane in inertial space is only affected by accelerations normal to that plane.

The elements are (1) the inclination of the orbit plane and (2) the longitude of the ascending node, which fix the orbit plane; (3) the semimajor axis, (4) the eccentricity and (5) the longitude of periapsis (see apse), which fix the size and shape of the orbit in the orbit plane; and (6) the time of periapsis, which locates the body in the orbit.

It is found that the maximum inclination at the perilune between the probe's orbit plane and the Moon's orbit plane is restricted by the heights of the perigee and the perilune of the free return trajectory.

The system is based on a pair of deflector plate sets, deflecting in the orbit plane, at the entrance and exit of the high-energy analysing magnet.

This high-energy bouncing system is based on a pair of deflector plates, deflecting in the orbit plane, set at the entrance and exit of the analysing magnet.

Weak coupling in 1D along the symmetry axis (to lie and slowly rotate in the orbit plane) is viable but less advantageous.

The full orbital constellation consists of 24 satellites into three orbit planes.

This is possible because, for some time after a breakup, the debris cloud of particles can remain grouped together in similar orbit planes.

Because of the limited field of view of an optical instrument, it is impossible at any one time to observe objects in all orbit planes in the region.

For example, dawn-dusk orbits at the start of the mission, when all three satellites are in similar orbit planes, would result in no unlit data and therefore an unacceptable gap in the time series of the FTMM.

The orbit planes of the two lower satellites drift relative to the upper satellite over the course of the mission, achieving local time separation that will improve the spatiotemporal sensitivity of the data.
