The Axiom Orbital Segment is intended to have amenities including high-speed Wi-Fi, video screens, picture windows and a glass-walled cupola – which Axiom calls "the largest window observatory ever constructed for the space environment". [11] In December 2024, Axiom Space announced a change in their station assembly plans.
In astrodynamics, an orbit equation defines the path of orbiting body around central body relative to , without specifying position as a function of time.Under standard assumptions, a body moving under the influence of a force, directed to a central body, with a magnitude inversely proportional to the square of the distance (such as gravity), has an orbit that is a conic section (i.e. circular ...
The longitude of the ascending node, also known as the right ascension of the ascending node, is one of the orbital elements used to specify the orbit of an object in space. Denoted with the symbol Ω , it is the angle from a specified reference direction, called the origin of longitude , to the direction of the ascending node (☊), as ...
A line segment joining a planet and the Sun sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time. The square of a planet's orbital period is proportional to the cube of the length of the semi-major axis of its orbit. The elliptical orbits of planets were indicated by calculations of the orbit of Mars.
The US Orbital Segment (USOS) is the name given to the components of the International Space Station (ISS) constructed and operated by the United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), European Space Agency (ESA), Canadian Space Agency (CSA) and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).
In March 2020, Axiom announced they would charter a flight to the ISS with SpaceX's Crew Dragon spacecraft as early as late 2021. [11] This mission is the first wholly commercially operated crewed mission to the ISS, and one of the first dedicated orbital private crew missions, alongside Roscosmos ' Soyuz MS-20 mission in December 2021.

In orbital mechanics, Kepler's equation relates various geometric properties of the orbit of a body subject to a central force.. It was derived by Johannes Kepler in 1609 in Chapter 60 of his Astronomia nova, [1] [2] and in book V of his Epitome of Copernican Astronomy (1621) Kepler proposed an iterative solution to the equation.
This is a list of current and planned commercial space stations. Current While commercial space flights have been flown to the International Space Station (ISS), there are currently no commercial space stations in operation. Planned Axiom Station Main article: Axiom Station Axiom Station is a planned modular space station designed by Axiom Space for commercial space activities and space ...
