A Glossary of the Space Industry, Rockets, Satellites, and Outer Space
This website is about everything about space ! You can find here
Below are listed some random articles of the glossary.
Deutsch: SpaceShipTwo / Español: SpaceShipTwo / Português: SpaceShipTwo / Français: SpaceShipTwo / Italiano: SpaceShipTwo
SpaceShipTwo in the Space industry context refers to a suborbital, air-launched spaceplane developed by Virgin Galactic for commercial space tourism. It is part of a class of vehicles designed to take passengers on brief journeys to the edge of space, offering them the Experience of Weightlessness and a view of Earth from the upper Atmosphere. SpaceShipTwo is carried aloft by a mother ship, WhiteKnightTwo, to a high Altitude, where it is then released and ignites its Rocket motor to propel itself to suborbital space.
Deutsch: Präzession / Español: Precesión / Português: Precessão / Français: Précession / Italiano: Precessione /
In the Space industry context, precession refers to the gradual change or rotation in the orientation of the Axis of a rotating body, such as a Planet, moon, or artificial satellite, in Space. This Phenomenon is driven by external forces acting on the rotating body, causing its rotational axis to trace out a cone-like motion over time. For artificial Satellites and Spacecraft, understanding and managing precession is crucial for maintaining proper orientation (attitude control), ensuring the Accuracy of instruments and communications systems, and achieving mission objectives.
Deutsch: Entstehung / Español: Emergencia / Português: Emergência / Français: Émergence / Italiano: Emergenza
In the Space industry context, emergence refers to the development of new technologies, concepts, companies, or trends that significantly impact space exploration, commercialization, and Research. This can include the advent of innovative Spacecraft designs, Propulsion systems, materials Science advancements, or the rise of new space-focused enterprises and partnerships. Emergence also pertains to the evolving landscape of space policy, regulatory environments, and international cooperation frameworks that enable or facilitate new space activities and missions.
Deutsch: Luftraumsperrung / Español: Cierre del espacio aéreo / Português: Fechamento do espaço aéreo / Français: Fermeture de l'espace aérien / Italiano: Chiusura dello spazio aereo
Airspace closure in the Space industry refers to the temporary restriction or shutdown of a designated portion of airspace to ensure the safety of both air and space activities. This typically occurs during space launches, landings, or other Critical events, where there is a risk of collision or interference between spacecraft and commercial or private Aircraft.
