  2. Local standard of rest - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_standard_of_rest

    In astronomy, the local standard of rest or LSR is a reference frame which follows the mean motion of material in the Milky Way in the neighborhood of the Sun (stars in radius 100 pc from the Sun), [1] on average sharing the same velocity around the Milky Way as the Sun. [2] The path of this material is not precisely circular. [3]

  3. Low thrust relative orbital transfer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_thrust_relative...

    In orbital mechanics, low-thrust relative transfer is an orbital maneuver in which a chaser spacecraft covers a specific relative distance relative to the target spacecraft using continuous low-thrust system with specific impulse of the order of 4000-8000s. [1]

  4. Local-density approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local-density_approximation

    Local-density approximations (LDA) are a class of approximations to the exchange–correlation (XC) energy functional in density functional theory (DFT) that depend solely upon the value of the electronic density at each point in space (and not, for example, derivatives of the density or the Kohn–Sham orbitals). Many approaches can yield ...

  5. Symmetric mean absolute percentage error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetric_mean_absolute...

    One supposed problem with SMAPE is that it is not symmetric since over- and under-forecasts are not treated equally. The following example illustrates this by applying the second SMAPE formula: Over-forecasting: A t = 100 and F t = 110 give SMAPE = 4.76%; Under-forecasting: A t = 100 and F t = 90 give SMAPE = 5.26%.

    The usual treatment (e.g., Albert Einstein's original work) is based on the invariance of the speed of light. However, this is not necessarily the starting point: indeed (as is described, for example, in the second volume of the Course of Theoretical Physics by Landau and Lifshitz), what is really at stake is the locality of interactions: one supposes that the influence that one particle, say ...

  7. Legendre pseudospectral method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legendre_pseudospectral_method

    The Legendre pseudospectral method (based on Gauss-Lobatto points) has been implemented in flight [1] by NASA on several spacecraft through the use of the software, DIDO.The first flight implementation was on November 5, 2006, when NASA used DIDO to maneuver the International Space Station to perform the Zero Propellant Maneuver.

    The following transfer function: = () = + + + + + + + +is proper, because ⁡ (()) = ⁡ (()) =. is biproper, because ⁡ (()) = = ⁡ (()) =. but is not strictly ...

  9. Target angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Target_angle

    It may be used to compute point-of-aim for a fire-control problem when vehicle range and speed can be estimated from other information. Target angle may be best explained from the example of a submarine preparing to launch a straight-run (non-homing) torpedo at a moving target ship. Since the torpedo travels relatively slowly, the torpedo ...
