  2. Orbital decay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_decay

    Orbital decay is a gradual decrease of the distance between two orbiting bodies at their closest approach (the periapsis) over many orbital periods. These orbiting bodies can be a planet and its satellite , a star and any object orbiting it, or components of any binary system .

  3. Kessler syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kessler_syndrome

    To improve tracking, NORAD employee John Gabbard kept a separate database. Studying the explosions, Gabbard developed a technique for predicting the orbital paths of their products, and Gabbard diagrams (or plots) are now widely used. These studies were used to improve the modeling of orbital evolution and decay. [9]

  4. NASA Orbital Debris Program Office - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASA_Orbital_Debris...

    This version of the long-running series includes ten years of additional data, new validated high-fidelity environment models, new statistical processes for data and model analysis, the extension of the modeling through GEO, the inclusion of debris material density, and a new spacecraft-encompassing igloo analysis package, with an advanced ...

  5. Tidal heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_heating

    This energy gained by the object comes from its orbital energy and/or rotational energy, so over time in a two-body system, the initial elliptical orbit decays into a circular orbit (tidal circularization) and the rotational periods of the two bodies adjust towards matching the orbital period (tidal locking). Sustained tidal heating occurs when ...

  6. Orbiter (simulator) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbiter_(simulator)

    Orbiter was developed as a simulator, [14] with accurately modeled planetary motion, gravitation effects (including non-spherical gravity), free space, atmospheric flight and orbital decay. [15] [16] The position of the planets in the solar system is calculated by the VSOP87 solution, while the Earth-Moon system is simulated by the ELP2000 ...

  7. apk (file format) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apk_(file_format)

    The Android Package with the file extension apk [1] is the file format used by the Android operating system, and a number of other Android-based operating systems for distribution and installation of mobile apps, mobile games and middleware. A file using this format can be built from source code written in either Java or Kotlin.

  8. Jet Propulsion Laboratory Development Ephemeris - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_Propulsion_Laboratory...

    The ephemerides are now available via World Wide Web and FTP [13] as data files containing the Chebyshev coefficients, along with source code to recover (calculate) positions and velocities. [14] Files vary in the time periods they cover, ranging from a few hundred years to several thousand, and bodies they include.

  9. High Orbit Ion Cannon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Orbit_Ion_Cannon

    High Orbit Ion Cannon (HOIC) is an open-source network stress testing and denial-of-service attack application designed to attack as many as 256 URLs at the same time. It was designed to replace the Low Orbit Ion Cannon which was developed by Praetox Technologies and later released into the public domain.
