Difference between Ion thruster and Orbit

Ion thruster vs. Orbit

An ion thruster or ion drive is a form of electric propulsion used for spacecraft propulsion. In physics, an orbit is the gravitationally curved trajectory of an object, such as the trajectory of a planet around a star or a natural satellite around a planet.

Similarities between Ion thruster and Orbit

Ion thruster and Orbit have 10 things in common (in Unionpedia): Drag (physics), Energy, Geosynchronous orbit, International Space Station, Low Earth orbit, Mass, Mercury (planet), Moon, Satellite, Spacecraft propulsion.

Drag (physics)

In fluid dynamics, drag (sometimes called air resistance, a type of friction, or fluid resistance, another type of friction or fluid friction) is a force acting opposite to the relative motion of any object moving with respect to a surrounding fluid.

Energy

In physics, energy is the quantitative property that must be transferred to an object in order to perform work on, or to heat, the object.

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).

International Space Station

The International Space Station (ISS) is a space station, or a habitable artificial satellite, in low Earth orbit.

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.

Mass

Mass is both a property of a physical body and a measure of its resistance to acceleration (a change in its state of motion) when a net force is applied.
