	Kilometer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A kilometer (Commonwealth spelling: kilometre), symbol: km is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 1,000 metres (from the Greek words χίλια (khilia) = thousand and μέτρο (metro) = count/measure).
		Like the kilometer, all units of length in the metric system are based on the meter, by adding an SI prefix that stands for a power of ten, such as hecto for one hundred to form hectometer (0.1 kilometer) or mega for one million to form megameter (1,000 kilometers).
		Unicode has symbols for "km" (㎞), for square kilometer (㎢) and for cubic kilometer (㎦); however, they are useful only in CJK texts, where they are equal in size to one Chinese character.

	IS anti-satellite system
		The pressurized body of the satellite itself was covered by the special protective armor and the spacecraft was expected to transmit data after as many as three attacks by the interceptors.
		After a slow approach and a few-second-long flyby within some 8 kilometer from the Cosmos-400, the IS descended to 799 by 169-kilometer orbit, from which it reentered the atmosphere over the Pacific.
		The interceptor's initial announced orbit was 1,027 by 552 kilometers, however 1 hour 16 minutes after the launch the interceptor climbed to the 1,010 by 977-kilometer orbit.

	Pay-by-the-Kilometer Auto Insurance: A Proposal
		It should also be noted that the total amount of driving would not be reduced by quite as much, because the lower fixed annual cost of insurance would allow for occasional drivers who are presently locked out of driving altogether.
		Because of the inherent fairness of paying insurance premiums for the actual kilometers of driving risk undertaken, and the lack of arbitrary, unfair boundaries as in the use classification system, one should expect that a pay-by-the-kilometer system becomes more respected than the present pay-by-the-year system and that the tendency to cheat the system is reduced.
		Attempts to cheat a pay-by-the-kilometer system could be made by buying insurance only for a small number of kilometers at the start of the year and then winding the odometer back throughout the year or disconnecting the odometer/speedometer altogether.

	Definition of kilometer - Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary
		usage In North American speech kilometer is most often pronounced with primary stress on the second syllable.
		Those who object to second syllable stress say that the first syllable should be stressed in accord with the stress patterns of centimeter, millimeter, etc. However, the pronunciation of kilometer does not parallel that of other metric compounds.
		Most scientists use second syllable stress, although first syllable stress seems to occur with a higher rate of frequency among scientists than among nonscientists.

		Just three kilometers further (KM 72), on the ocean side of the toll road, we spotted what appeared to be a very attractive new RV park, called "Baja Seasons".
		The kilometer post markings which had counted up towards Guerrero Negro were now counting down, apparently indicating the distance remaining to Santa Rosalia on the Pacific Coast.
		This town is about 3 kilometers south of the main highway, and though the entrance roadway to it is a bit narrow, we had no problems driving into the town square, around it, and back out.

	Cornell News: Square Kilometer Array meeting
		The global astronomy community has dubbed the new telescope the Square Kilometer Array, or SKA, and it hopes that if funding and technical problems can be overcome, the massive instrument will be focusing its beams on the distant universe within a decade or so.
		Although the telescope's span would be 1,000 kilometers (620 miles), its actual collecting area for radio beams would be only about a square kilometer, or about a half square mile.
		The antennas would form a type of telescope called an interferometer, in which radio signals from distant objects in the universe are captured by separate antennas and brought together at a central processor.

		The first clear view of the specific area where the British Beagle 2 lander should have touched down Christmas Day has revealed a one-kilometer crater dead center in the target landing zone, but officials are quick to say the discovery doesn't dash their optimism of finding the missing craft.
		Following Beagle's deployment from the Mars Express orbiter on December 19, mission officials were able to narrow the landing zone to an ellipse-shaped swath 70 kilometers long and 10 kilometers wide.
		There are an awful lot of one-kilometer craters that you can put into an ellipse that size," Pillinger said.
