UPDATE- Orbital weirdness is normal. The drives are not activated and the Semi-Major Axis charting is what matters with orbit altitude. The velocity has not changed since I started looking at the ...

A 128-minute orbit, according to Kepler's third law, works out to a semi-major axis of 8,413 km (5,228 mi). Such an object with less than 0.25 eccentricity (a roughly circular orbit), therefore ...

IVO is waiting on Rogue Systems. UPDATE: We need to track the semi-major axis increasing for the evidence that the satellite is increasing its orbit and the thrusters are working. The orbits seemed ...

Researchers have found that if a star flying past our solar system moved Neptune’s orbit by just 0.1 per ... 4.5 million kilometres in Neptune’s semi-major axis – could spread to Earth ...

SAN FRANCISCO – French startup Exotrail announced Jan. 12 that its miniature Hall-effect thruster ignited in orbit, and propelled a NanoAvionics R2 cubesat to change its semi-major axis by 700 ...
