Does distance traveled by an orbiting spacecraft is circumference or area?
It is circumference, for a circular orbit
How many miles is an orbit of 220 miles high from earth?
Do you mean the length of such an orbit ?Well . . .-- The radius of the Earth is about 3,960 miles.-- 220 miles further out means that the radius of the orbit is 4,180 miles.-- The circumference of a circle is (2 pi) x (the radius).-- So the length of the orbit is (8,360 pi) = 26,264 miles. (rounded)
What is the circumference of a circle with the radius of 43?
Circumference = 2pi*r Circumference = 86pi
What is the circumference of 7.8cm?
circumference = 24.5
Circumference in a sentence?
circumference of the tire.
If the diameter of the moon is 3475 km and an orbiting lunar station is circling 21 km above the lunar surface. what is the distance traveled by the lunar station in one orbit?
Assuming that the moon is spherical and the orbit is circular: Lunar diameter = 3,475 km Orbital diameter = 3,475 + 42 = 3,517 km Orbital circumference = (pi) times diameter = 3,517(pi) = 11,048.981 km (rounded)
The clementine spacecraft was placed in what orbit?
lunar orbit
Did the Eagle stay in lunar orbit after it was jettisoned?
For a period of time it stayed in lunar orbit, however, that orbit eventually decayed and the ascent stage crashed onto the moon.
What is the lunar perigee?
The side of the orbit of the moon that is closest to the Earth is the lunar perigee.

What was the first lunar module to orbit the earth?
the first test of lunar module in lunar orbit was in 1964 using Apollo10, the space craft, sent by the USA sorry if this isnt a good answer :(

What is the median of a normal distribution to outlier as lunar perigee is to lunar?
The median of a normal distribution to outlier as lunar perigee is to lunar is an elliptical orbit.
Does distance traveled by an orbiting spacecraft is circumference or area?

When was the Apollo lunar invented?
The Apollo 9 was the first to test a lunar module in space. Apollo 10 tested the lunar module in lunar orbit.
What is lunar module?
Lunar module is the landing craft design to transport astronaut from Moon's orbit down to surface and return astronaut back to orbit. Lunar module is the key part in Apollo project led by NASA.
Why is the solar system named solar and not lunar?
This is because the planets do not orbit the moon they orbit the sun
