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
Circumference in a sentence?
circumference of the tire.
What is the circumference of 7.8cm?
circumference = 24.5
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.
Does distance traveled by an orbiting spacecraft is circumference or area?
It is circumference, for a circular orbit
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.
Who came up with the idea of Lunar Orbit Rendezvous?
The concept of Lunar Orbit Rendezvous (LOR) was proposed by John Houbolt, an engineer at NASA, as an approach to landing on the Moon during the Apollo program. This methodology involved separating the spacecraft into two parts, with one staying in lunar orbit while the other descended to the surface and then returned to dock in lunar orbit for the journey back to Earth.
When was the Apollo lunar invented?
The Apollo Lunar Module was developed in the 1960s as part of the Apollo program by NASA, with the first successful manned landing on the moon occurring on July 20, 1969. The Lunar Module played a crucial role in transporting astronauts from lunar orbit to the moon's surface and back to the command module in orbit.
How many men has nasa sent to moon?
24 men have orbited or flown past the moon. 12 men have landed on the surface of the moon. Three men have flown to the moon twice.Apollo 8, December 1968 (Lunar orbit)Frank BormanJames LovellWilliam AndersApollo 10, May 1969 (Lunar orbit)Eugene CernanJohn YoungThomas StaffordApollo 11, July 1969Neil Armstrong (Lunar landing)Edwin Aldrin (Lunar landing)Michael Collins (Lunar orbit)Apollo 12, November 1969Charles Conrad (Lunar landing)Alan Bean (Lunar landing)Richard Gordon (Lunar orbit)Apollo 13, April 1970 (Lunar Flyby, no landing, no orbit)James Lovell (First man to visit moon twice)John SwigertFred HaiseApollo 14, January/February 1971Alan Shepard (Lunar landing)Edgar Mitchell (Lunar landing)Stuart Roosa (Lunar orbit)Apollo 15, July 1971David Scott (Lunar landing)James Irwin (Lunar landing)Alfred Worden (Lunar orbit)Apollo 16, April 1972John Young (Lunar landing) (Second man to visit moon twice)Charles Duke (Lunar landing)Thomas Mattingly (Lunar orbit)Apollo 17, December 1972Eugene Cernan (Lunar landing) (Third man to visit moon twice)Harrison Schmitt (Lunar landing)Ronald Evans (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.
What is the lunar perigee?
The lunar perigee is the point in the Moon's orbit where it is closest to Earth. This results in the Moon appearing larger and brighter in the sky, known colloquially as a "supermoon".
Why is the solar system named solar and not lunar?
This is because the planets do not orbit the moon they orbit the sun
