Difference between Gravity drag and Single-stage-to-orbit

Gravity drag vs. Single-stage-to-orbit

In astrodynamics and rocketry, gravity drag (or gravity losses) is a measure of the loss in the net performance of a rocket while it is thrusting in a gravitational field. A single-stage-to-orbit (or SSTO) vehicle reaches orbit from the surface of a body without jettisoning hardware, expending only propellants and fluids.

Similarities between Gravity drag and Single-stage-to-orbit

Gravity drag and Single-stage-to-orbit have 3 things in common (in Unionpedia): Delta-v, Low Earth orbit, Multistage rocket.

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.

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.

Multistage rocket

A multistage rocket, or step rocket is a launch vehicle that uses two or more rocket stages, each of which contains its own engines and propellant.

Gravity drag and Single-stage-to-orbit Comparison

Gravity drag has 19 relations, while Single-stage-to-orbit has 113. As they have in common 3, the Jaccard index is 2.27% = 3 / (19 + 113).
