Sentence examples for orbit time from inspiring English sources

They found that the shuttle's orbit time could be extended by 25 days, and reckoned that, with a second shuttle on stand-by in case crew needed rescuing, the risk was acceptable.The mission offers the opportunity not only to repair the telescope but also to upgrade it.

It is an advantage, therefore, to use satellites with an orbit time identical to that of the earth so that no tracking from the ground stations is required.

Precise thermal control must be used to stabilize the cavity temperature to within one part in 107 at time scales of 100 s and to one part in 105 on the orbit time scale.

For time correlation, each column of the carpet is analyzed as a sequence of data with a sampling time equal to the orbit time.

In this way, the fluctuation dynamics at each point in the orbit are measured with the highest time resolution (i.e., the orbit time).

The overall collision risk is tied to the spatial object density, to the relative velocities and the remaining on-orbit time.

However, a large number of those firings during the on-orbit time frame of LDEF might lead to an increase of the dust population for some of the LDEF surfaces.

The present work shows how to select tape dimensions for a generic mission so as to satisfy requirements of very small tether-to-satellite mass ratio mt/MS and probability Nf of tether cut by small debris, while keeping de-orbit time tf short and product tf × tether length low to reduce maneuvers in avoiding collisions with large debris.

At mid-inclination and a mass-ratio of a few percent, de-orbit time takes about 2 weeks and Nf is a small fraction of 1%, with tape dimensions ranging from 1 to 6 cm, 10 to 54 μm, and 2.8 to 8.6 km.

The present paper proposes a movement analysis methodology, which fits the specific constraints of space activity and matches the objective of maximising reliability and minimising on-orbit time, and reports normative data about accuracy and precision of the self-marking of an extended set of anatomical landmarks.

The vehicle has been aloft for 462 days as of today June 88), more than doubling the on-orbit time of the first space-flown X-37B, known as OTV-1.
