Difference between Geocentric orbit and STS-32

Geocentric orbit vs. STS-32

A geocentric orbit or Earth orbit involves any object orbiting Planet Earth, such as the Moon or artificial satellites. STS-32 was the 33rd mission of NASA's Space Shuttle program, and the 9th launch of Space Shuttle ''Columbia''.

Similarities between Geocentric orbit and STS-32

Geocentric orbit and STS-32 have 5 things in common (in Unionpedia): Equator, Geosynchronous orbit, Low Earth orbit, Orbital decay, Satellite.

Equator

An equator of a rotating spheroid (such as a planet) is its zeroth circle of latitude (parallel).

Geosynchronous orbit

A geosynchronous orbit (sometimes abbreviated GSO) is an orbit around Earth of a satellite with an orbital period that matches Earth's rotation on its axis, which takes one sidereal day (23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds).

Low Earth orbit

A low Earth orbit (LEO) is an orbit around Earth with an altitude of or less, and with an orbital period of between about 84 and 127 minutes.

Orbital decay

In orbital mechanics, decay is a process that leads to gradual decrease of the distance between two orbiting bodies at their closest approach (the periapsis) over many orbital periods.

Satellite

In the context of spaceflight, a satellite is an artificial object which has been intentionally placed into orbit.

Geocentric orbit and STS-32 Comparison

Geocentric orbit has 88 relations, while STS-32 has 60. As they have in common 5, the Jaccard index is 3.38% = 5 / (88 + 60).
