  2. Tyche (hypothetical planet) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyche_(hypothetical_planet)

    Whitmire and Matese speculated that Tyche's orbit would lie at approximately 500 times Neptune's distance, some 15,000 AU (2.2 × 10 12 km) from the Sun, a little less than one quarter of a light year. This is well within the Oort cloud, whose boundary is estimated to be beyond 50,000 AU.

  3. Stationary orbit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stationary_orbit

    A satellite being propelled into place, into a stationary orbit, is first fired to a special equatorial orbit called a "geostationary transfer orbit" (GTO). [1] Within this oval-shaped ( elliptical ) orbit, the satellite will alternately swing out to 22,300 miles (35,890 km) high and then back down to an altitude of only 100 miles (160 km ...

  4. Orbit phasing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbit_phasing

    In astrodynamics, orbit phasing is the adjustment of the time-position of spacecraft along its orbit, usually described as adjusting the orbiting spacecraft's true anomaly. [1] Orbital phasing is primarily used in scenarios where a spacecraft in a given orbit must be moved to a different location within the same orbit.

  5. Synchronous orbit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronous_orbit

    A synchronous orbit is an orbit in which an orbiting body (usually a satellite) has a period equal to the average rotational period of the body being orbited (usually a planet), and in the same direction of rotation as that body.

  6. Nemesis (hypothetical star) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nemesis_(hypothetical_star)

    Nemesis is a hypothetical red dwarf [1] or brown dwarf, [2] originally postulated in 1984 [3] to be orbiting the Sun at a distance of about 95,000 AU (1.5 light-years), [2] somewhat beyond the Oort cloud, to explain a perceived cycle of mass extinctions in the geological record, which seem to occur more often at intervals of 26 million years.

  7. Two-stage-to-orbit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-stage-to-orbit

    A two-stage-to-orbit (TSTO) or two-stage rocket is a launch vehicle in which two distinct stages provide propulsion consecutively in order to achieve orbital velocity. It is intermediate between a three-stage-to-orbit launcher and a hypothetical single-stage-to-orbit (SSTO) launcher. At liftoff the first stage is responsible for accelerating ...

  8. Timing synchronization function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timing_synchronization...

    A TSF keeps the timers for all stations in the same basic service set (BSS) synchronized. All stations shall maintain a local TSF timer. All stations shall maintain a local TSF timer. Each mobile host maintains a TSF timer with modulus 2 64 {\displaystyle 2^{64}} counting in increments of microseconds.

  9. List of satellites in geosynchronous orbit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_satellites_in...

    A satellite in a geostationary orbit appears stationary, always at the same point in the sky, to ground observers. Popularly or loosely, the term "geosynchronous" may be used to mean geostationary. [1] Specifically, geosynchronous Earth orbit (GEO) may be a synonym for geosynchronous equatorial orbit, [2] or geostationary Earth orbit. [3]
