  2. Orbital maneuver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_maneuver

    This maneuver is also known as an orbital plane change as the plane of the orbit is tipped. This maneuver requires a change in the orbital velocity vector at the orbital nodes (i.e. the point where the initial and desired orbits intersect, the line of orbital nodes is defined by the intersection of the two orbital planes).

  3. Space rendezvous - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_rendezvous

    In circular orbits, higher orbits have a lower orbital velocity. Lower orbits have a higher orbital velocity. For orbital rendezvous to occur, both spacecraft must be in the same orbital plane, and the phase of the orbit (the position of the spacecraft in the orbit) must be matched. [24] For docking, the speed of the two vehicles must also be ...

  4. Aerocapture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerocapture

    Aerocapture is an orbital transfer maneuver in which a spacecraft uses aerodynamic drag force from a single pass through a planetary atmosphere to decelerate and achieve orbit insertion. Aerocapture uses a planet's or moon's atmosphere to accomplish a quick, near-propellantless orbit insertion maneuver to place a spacecraft in its science orbit ...

  5. Business analytics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_analytics

    In other words, business intelligence focusses on description, while business analytics focusses on prediction and prescription. [1] Business analytics makes extensive use of analytical modeling and numerical analysis, including explanatory and predictive modeling, [2] and fact-based management to drive decision making. It is therefore closely ...

  6. Business intelligence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_intelligence

    Thomas Davenport, professor of information technology and management at Babson College argues that business intelligence should be divided into querying, reporting, Online analytical processing (OLAP), an "alerts" tool, and business analytics. In this definition, business analytics is the subset of BI focusing on statistics, prediction, and ...

    This maneuver requires a change in the orbital velocity vector at the orbital nodes (i.e. the point where the initial and desired orbits intersect, the line of orbital nodes is defined by the intersection of the two orbital planes). Orbital maneuver – In spaceflight, an orbital maneuver (otherwise known as a burn) is the use of propulsion ...

  8. Spacecraft flight dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacecraft_flight_dynamics

    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 ...

  9. Orbit insertion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbit_insertion

    In spaceflight an orbit insertion is an orbital maneuver which adjusts a spacecraft’s trajectory, allowing entry into an orbit around a planet, moon, or other celestial body. [1] An orbit insertion maneuver involves either deceleration from a speed in excess of the respective body's escape velocity, or acceleration to it from a lower speed.
