8. Satellite Orbits II

Course subject(s) Space Lectures

In this lecture Prod. Ir. B. Ambrosius picks up where he left off in the first lecture on orbits. He continues to talk about the elliptical orbits, and looks at the special case of the parabolic and hyperbolic orbits. In the second part of the lecture he expands to talk about the consequences of looking at orbits in three dimensions. He looks at different orbits which are applied in real life, and the maneuvers required to move from one to another.
