  2. Orbital spaceflight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_spaceflight

    To reach orbit, the rocket must impart to the payload a delta-v of about 9.3–10 km/s. This figure is mainly (~7.8 km/s) for horizontal acceleration needed to reach orbital speed, but allows for atmospheric drag (approximately 300 m/s with the ballistic coefficient of a 20 m long dense fueled vehicle), gravity losses (depending on burn time ...

  3. Space travel under constant acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_travel_under...

    The distance traveled, under constant proper acceleration, from the point of view of Earth as a function of the traveler's time is expressed by the coordinate distance x as a function of proper time τ at constant proper acceleration a. It is given by: [8] [9]

    The engine is then fired again at the lower distance to slow the spacecraft into the lower circular orbit. The Hohmann transfer orbit is based on two instantaneous velocity changes. Extra fuel is required to compensate for the fact that the bursts take time; this is minimized by using high-thrust engines to minimize the duration of the bursts.

  6. List of rocket launch sites - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rocket_launch_sites

    A single rocket launch is sufficient for inclusion in the table, as long as the site is properly documented through a reference. Missile locations with no launches are not included in the list. Proposed and planned sites and sites under construction are not included in the main tabulation, but may appear in condensed lists under the tables.

  7. Google Maps - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Maps

    Google Maps is available as a mobile app for the Android and iOS mobile operating systems. The first mobile version of Google Maps (then known as Google Local for Mobile) was launched in beta in November 2005 for mobile platforms supporting J2ME. [191] [192] [193] It was released as Google Maps for Mobile in 2006. [194]
