Calculating the Acceleration of Spacecraft Orbiting Earth
Since 1957 when the first artificial satellite was launched, thousands of spacecraft have orbited Earth. While some are placed into polar orbits for communications or weather purposes, others such as communications satellites orbit in geostationary orbits for longer-term performance. Like throwing a ball into the air creates an unpredictable path towards its landing point, spacecraft […]
