    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_switch

    The timer may switch equipment on, off, or both, at a preset time or times, after a preset interval, or cyclically. A countdown time switch switches power, usually off, after a preset time. A cyclical timer switches equipment both on and off at preset times over a period, then repeats the cycle; the period is usually 24 hours or 7 days.

    The Intel 8253 PIT was the original timing device used on IBM PC compatibles.It used a 1.193182 MHz clock signal (one third of the color burst frequency used by NTSC, one twelfth of the system clock crystal oscillator, [1] therefore one quarter of the 4.77 MHz CPU clock) and contains three timers.

    Intel C8253 Intel 8253 programmable interval timer. Intel 8254 has the same pinout. The Intel 8253 and 8254 are programmable interval timers (PITs), which perform timing and counting functions using three 16-bit counters. [1] The 825x family was primarily designed for the Intel 8080/8085-processors, but were later used in x86 compatible systems.

  7. Orbital station-keeping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_station-keeping

    For spacecraft in a very low orbit, the atmospheric drag is sufficiently strong to cause a re-entry before the intended end of mission if orbit raising maneuvers are not executed from time to time. An example of this is the International Space Station (ISS), which has an operational altitude above Earth's surface of between 400 and 430 km (250 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_maneuver

    In orbital mechanics, the Hohmann transfer orbit is an elliptical orbit used to transfer between two circular orbits of different altitudes, in the same plane. The orbital maneuver to perform the Hohmann transfer uses two engine impulses which move a spacecraft onto and off the transfer orbit.

    The 5-segment SRB, which would have required little change to the current shuttle infrastructure, would have allowed the space shuttle to carry an additional 20,000 lb (9,100 kg) of payload in an International Space Station-inclination orbit, eliminate the dangerous Return-to-Launch Site (RTLS) and Trans-Oceanic Abort modes, and, by using a so ...
