The principles of flight dynamics are used to model a vehicle's powered flight during launch from the Earth; a spacecraft's orbital flight; maneuvers to change orbit; translunar and interplanetary flight; launch from and landing on a celestial body, with or without an atmosphere; entry through the atmosphere of the Earth or other celestial body ...
The ELaNa-48 mission, consisting of the two CURIE cubesats, was launched on this flight. [14] The two CURIE cubesats were launched as a single spacecraft and separated in orbit (ESA Rideshares - Demo Flight).

The flight dynamics of spacecraft differ from those of aircraft in that the aerodynamic forces are of very small, or vanishingly small effect for most of the vehicle's flight, and cannot be used for attitude control during that time. Also, most of a spacecraft's flight time is usually unpowered, leaving gravity as the dominant force.
Contact with the spacecraft was lost on 19 August during an anomalous orbit lowering maneuver, and Roscosmos announced the following day that as a result of the maneuver the spacecraft entered an unplanned orbit and crashed on the Moon surface. [32] 11 August 05:17:40 [33] Falcon 9 Block 5: Starlink Group 6-9 Cape Canaveral SLC-40: SpaceX ...
Notable test flights of spaceflight systems may be listed even if they were not planned to reach space. Some lists are further divided into orbital launches (sending a payload into orbit, whether successful or not) and suborbital flights (e.g. ballistic missiles, sounding rockets, experimental spacecraft).
