Difference between Ion thruster and Orbital station-keeping

Ion thruster vs. Orbital station-keeping

An ion thruster or ion drive is a form of electric propulsion used for spacecraft propulsion. In astrodynamics, the orbital maneuvers made by thruster burns that are needed to keep a spacecraft in a particular assigned orbit are called orbital station-keeping.

Similarities between Ion thruster and Orbital station-keeping

Ion thruster and Orbital station-keeping have 10 things in common (in Unionpedia): Artemis (satellite), Delta-v, Drag (physics), European Space Agency, Gravity Field and Steady-State Ocean Circulation Explorer, International Space Station, Orbit, Plasma propulsion engine, Spacecraft propulsion, Specific impulse.

Artemis (satellite)

Artemis is a geostationary earth orbit satellite (GEOS) for telecommunications, built by Alenia Spazio for ESA.

Delta-v

Delta-v (literally "change in velocity"), symbolised as ∆v and pronounced delta-vee, as used in spacecraft flight dynamics, is a measure of the impulse that is needed to perform a maneuver such as launch from, or landing on a planet or moon, or in-space orbital maneuver.

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.
