Explore: Orbital Velocity

Orbital velocity may refer to the following: The orbital angular velocity The orbital speed of a revolving body in a gravitational field. The velocity

circular orbits their individual orbital velocities do not vary much. Being closest to the Sun and having the most eccentric orbit, Mercury's orbital speed

the orbital state vectors (sometimes state vectors) of an orbit are Cartesian vectors of position ( r {\displaystyle \mathbf {r} } ) and velocity ( v

or hyperbolic orbit (from Newtonian theory: hyperbola shape) is the trajectory of any object around a central body with enough velocity to escape the

transportation or space launch. Because the cable is spinning faster than orbital velocity, there is a net outward force that is countered by internal tension

1967 by the North American X-15. The energy required to reach Earth orbital velocity at an altitude of 600 km (370 mi) is about 36 MJ/kg, which is six times
