Difference between Geocentric orbit and Spaceflight

Geocentric orbit vs. Spaceflight

A geocentric orbit or Earth orbit involves any object orbiting Planet Earth, such as the Moon or artificial satellites. Spaceflight (also written space flight) is ballistic flight into or through outer space.

Similarities between Geocentric orbit and Spaceflight

Geocentric orbit and Spaceflight have 15 things in common (in Unionpedia): Atmosphere, Atmospheric entry, Earth, Low Earth orbit, Orbit, Orbital mechanics, Orbital spaceflight, Reconnaissance satellite, Satellite, Space debris, Spacecraft, Spacecraft propulsion, Specific orbital energy, Sub-orbital spaceflight, Weather satellite.

Atmosphere

An atmosphere is a layer or a set of layers of gases surrounding a planet or other material body, that is held in place by the gravity of that body.

Atmospheric entry

Atmospheric entry is the movement of an object from outer space into and through the gases of an atmosphere of a planet, dwarf planet or natural satellite.

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.

Orbit

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.

Orbital spaceflight

An orbital spaceflight (or orbital flight) is a spaceflight in which a spacecraft is placed on a trajectory where it could remain in space for at least one orbit.

Reconnaissance satellite

A reconnaissance satellite (commonly, although unofficially, referred to as a spy satellite) is an Earth observation satellite or communications satellite deployed for military or intelligence applications.

Satellite

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

Space debris

Space debris (also known as space junk, space waste, space trash, space litter or space garbage) is a term for the mass of defunct, artificially created objects in space, most notably in Earth orbit, such as old satellites and spent rocket stages.

Spacecraft propulsion

Spacecraft propulsion is any method used to accelerate spacecraft and artificial satellites.

Specific orbital energy

In the gravitational two-body problem, the specific orbital energy \epsilon\,\! (or vis-viva energy) of two orbiting bodies is the constant sum of their mutual potential energy (\epsilon_p\,\!) and their total kinetic energy (\epsilon_k\,\!), divided by the reduced mass.

Sub-orbital spaceflight

A sub-orbital spaceflight is a spaceflight in which the spacecraft reaches space, but its trajectory intersects the atmosphere or surface of the gravitating body from which it was launched, so that it will not complete one orbital revolution.

Weather satellite

The weather satellite is a type of satellite that is primarily used to monitor the weather and climate of the Earth.

Geocentric orbit and Spaceflight Comparison

Geocentric orbit has 88 relations, while Spaceflight has 213. As they have in common 15, the Jaccard index is 4.98% = 15 / (88 + 213).
