    Amazon. Website. Official website. Kuiper Systems LLC, also known as Project Kuiper, is a subsidiary of Amazon that was established in 2019 to deploy a large satellite internet constellation to provide low- latency broadband connectivity. [2][3] The name Kuiper was a company codename for the project inspired by the Kuiper belt.

  3. Orbital plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_plane

    Orbital plane. An orbital plane as viewed relative to a plane of reference. An orbital plane can also be seen in relative to conic sections, in which the orbital path is defined as the intersection between a plane and a cone. Parabolic (1) and hyperbolic (3) orbits are escape orbits, whereas elliptical and circular orbits (2) are captive.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milankovitch_cycles

    This three-dimensional movement is known as "precession of the ecliptic" or "planetary precession". Earth's current inclination relative to the invariable plane (the plane that represents the angular momentum of the Solar System—approximately the orbital plane of Jupiter) is 1.57°. [citation needed] Milankovitch did not study planetary ...

  5. Axial tilt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_tilt

    The axial tilt is defined as the angle between the direction of the positive pole and the normal to the orbital plane. The angles for Earth, Uranus, and Venus are approximately 23°, 97°, and 177° respectively. In astronomy, axial tilt, also known as obliquity, is the angle between an object's rotational axis and its orbital axis, which is ...

  6. Orbital plane of reference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_plane_of_reference

    In celestial mechanics, the orbital plane of reference (or orbital reference plane) is the plane used to define orbital elements (positions). The two main orbital elements that are measured with respect to the plane of reference are the inclination and the longitude of the ascending node. Depending on the type of body being described, there are ...

  7. Orbital inclination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_inclination

    Orbits. The inclination is one of the six orbital elements describing the shape and orientation of a celestial orbit. It is the angle between the orbital plane and the plane of reference, normally stated in degrees. For a satellite orbiting a planet, the plane of reference is usually the plane containing the planet's equator.
