  2. Gemini Guidance Computer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemini_Guidance_Computer

    The orbit parameters are determined by the ground tracking which are then sent to the spacecraft; the guidance computer was responsible for processing the information along with sensed spacecraft attitude. The information was presented to the astronauts in terms of spacecraft coordinates.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Launch_status_check

    A launch status check, also known as a "go/no go poll" and several other terms, occurs at the beginning of an American spaceflight mission in which flight controllers monitoring various systems are queried for operation and readiness status before a launch can proceed.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmable_Interval_Timer

    One-shot timers will signal only once and then stop counting. Periodic timers signal every time they reach a specific value and then restart, thus producing a signal at periodic intervals. Periodic timers are typically used to invoke activities that must be performed at regular intervals.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_spaceflight

    There are three main "bands" of orbit around the Earth: low Earth orbit (LEO), medium Earth orbit (MEO), and geostationary orbit (GEO). According to orbital mechanics, an orbit lies in a particular, largely fixed plane around the Earth, which coincides with the center of the Earth, and may be inclined with respect to the equator. The relative ...

  6. 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 ...

  7. Space Shuttle abort modes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle_abort_modes

    An orbit near the craft's planned orbit was established, and the mission continued despite the abort to a lower orbit. [7] [8] The Mission Control Center at Johnson Space Center observed an SSME failure and called "Challenger-Houston, abort ATO." The engine failure was later determined to be an inadvertent engine shutdown caused by faulty ...
