Comparison of orbital launcher families; Lists of orbital launch vehicles by payload capacity: Small-lift launch vehicle (up to 2,000 kg to Low Earth Orbit (LEO)) Medium-lift launch vehicle (from 2,000 to 20,000 kg to LEO) Heavy-lift launch vehicle (from 20,000 to 50,000 kg to LEO) Super heavy-lift launch vehicle (beyond 50,000 kg to LEO)
The four-stage-to-orbit launch system is a rocket system used to attain Earth orbit. The spacecraft uses four distinct stages to provide propulsion consecutively in order to achieve orbital velocity. It is intermediate between a five-stage-to-orbit launcher and a three-stage-to-orbit launcher, most often used with solid-propellant launch systems.
GTO is a highly elliptical Earth orbit with an apogee (the point in the orbit of the moon or a satellite at which it is furthest from the earth) of 42,164 km (26,199 mi), [3] or a height of 35,786 km (22,236 mi) above sea level, which corresponds to the geostationary altitude.
The idea of using a rocket to remove the capsule from a space vehicle was developed by Maxime Faget in 1958. [1] The system, using the tower on the top of the space capsule to house rockets, was first used on a test of the Project Mercury capsule in March 1959. Historically, LES were used on American Mercury and Apollo spacecraft.

Aerial render of the Build The Earth project on a modified Airocean World Map. Build the Earth was created by YouTuber PippenFTS in March 2020 as a collaborative effort to recreate Earth in the video game Minecraft. [1] During the COVID-19 lockdowns, the server aimed to provide players with the opportunity to virtually experience and construct ...
Outerra is a Slovak computer software company best known for its middleware 3D planetary graphics engine, called Outerra engine, in development since 2008. [2] The engine renders high-quality terrain, terrain texturing, flora and water flow normal maps using relatively sparse and highly compressed data through fractal processing and other types of procedural generation.
