Different Types of Orbits - Rocket Science 101 Basics 20

Описание: In this video, we explain a wide variety of different features of orbits, such as inclination, ascending node, descending node, and local time of ascending node. We also talk about LEO, MEO, and Geosynchronous orbits as well as touching on sun synchronous orbits.

This video is one in a series where we explain how rockets, orbits, satellites, NASA, and other things space related work. In addition, we will talk about the history of rockets and some movies and science fiction TV shows. We will post a video in the series each week.

This whole thing started out as a blog, here: https://therocketscienceblog.wordpres.... Many of the topics found in this series were discussed on the blog.

This content was created by the Center for Academic Innovation (https://ai.umich.edu/) at the University of Michigan (https://umich.edu/). The development team included:

1. Aaron Ridley - main content creation
2. Ahmed Lachheb (heavy lifter), Peter Arashiro, Parker Miles, Aaron Cecil-Xavier, Anna Anderson (animations), Anushka Raheja - content development
3. Steve Ewing (heavy lifter -   / steve-ewing-72a11481  ) and Sam Baldwin - video recording and editing
4. Jenni Patterson and Sam Sieren - project management
