Single-stage-to-orbit — The VentureStar was a proposed SSTO spaceplane. A single stage to orbit (or SSTO) vehicle reaches orbit from the surface of a body without jettisoning hardware, expending only propellants and fluids. The term usually, but not exclusively, refers… … Wikipedia
Two-stage-to-orbit — A two stage to orbit (TSTO or DSTO Double/Dual Stage To Orbit) launch vehicle is a spacecraft in which two distinct stages provide propulsion consecutively in order to achieve orbital velocity. It is intermediate between a three stage to orbit… … Wikipedia
Three-stage-to-orbit — The three stage to orbit launch system is a commonly used rocket system to attain Earth orbit. The spacecraft uses three distinct stages to provide propulsion consecutively in order to achieve orbital velocity. Examples of three stage to orbit… … Wikipedia
Geostationary transfer orbit — A Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit or Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO) is a Hohmann transfer orbit around the Earth between a low Earth orbit (LEO) and a geosynchronous orbit (GEO). It is an ellipse where the perigee is a point on a LEO and the… … Wikipedia
Earth to orbit — (ETO) describes the process or means of placing a payload into an orbit around the Earth. Traditionally this has used rockets, however ETO can also include much more exotic forms of transportation such as railguns and hypersonic cannons and Space … Wikipedia
Centaur (rocket stage) — Centaur is a rocket stage designed for use as the upper stage of space launch vehicles. Centaur boosts its satellite payload to its final orbit or, in the case of an interplanetary space probe, to escape velocity. Centaur was the world s first… … Wikipedia
Inertial Upper Stage — The Inertial Upper Stage or IUS is a two stage solid fueled booster rocket developed by NASA and the U.S. Air Force for the launching of large payloads from either a Titan III (later Titan IV) rocket or from the payload bay of the Space… … Wikipedia
Earth Departure Stage — The Ares V Earth Departure Stage (EDS) is a rocket stage which will be designed by NASA at its Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama as part of Project Constellation. The EDS will be propelled by a single J 2X main engine fueled… … Wikipedia
List of Ace single volumes — Ace Books began publishing genre fiction in 1952. Initially these were mostly in the attractive dos à dos format, but they also published a few single volumes, in the early years, and that number grew until the doubles stopped appearing in about… … Wikipedia
Lunar orbit rendezvous — (LOR) was the method used by the Apollo missions for human spaceflight to the Moon. In an LOR mission a main spacecraft and a smaller lunar module travel together into lunar orbit (orbit around the Moon). The lunar module then independently… … Wikipedia
