  Orbital (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Orbital was an English techno duo formed in 1989, consisting of brothers Paul and Phil Hartnoll.
Orbital took its name from the raves that occurred in the late 1980s near the M25 orbital motorway that circles London.
Orbital is sometimes confused with The Orb, a similarly named band that has also been very influential in the realm of electronic music.

 Planetary orbit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The gravity of the orbiting object raises tidal bulges in the primary, and since below the synchronous orbit the orbiting object is moving faster than the body's surface the bulges lag a short angle behind it.
When atomic structure was first probed experimentally early in the twentieth century, an early picture of the atom portrayed it as a miniature solar system bound by the coulomb force rather than by gravity.
This was inconsistent with electrodynamics and the model was progressively refined as quantum theory evolved, but there is a legacy of the picture in the term orbital for the wave function of an energetically bound electron state.

According to the orbital energy conservation equation (also referred to as vis-viva equation) it is the same at all points of the trajectory:
The International Space Station has an orbital period of 91.74 minutes, hence the semi-major axis is 6738 km http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&lr=&newwindow=1&safe=off&q=%28%2891.74*60%2F2%2Fpi%29%5E2*398600%29%5E%281%2F3%29.
If the angle between v and g is acute, for example in a landing (on a celestial body without atmosphere) and in a transfer to a circular orbit around a celestial body when arriving from outside, this means applying the delta-v as late as possible.

 NASA Orbital Debris FAQs
Orbital debris is any man-made object in orbit about the Earth which no longer serves a useful purpose.
Our ability to detect orbital debris at such heights is limited, but studies indicate that the orbital debris population is probably less severe there than in low Earth orbit.
An excellent primer on the many aspects of orbital debris is the Interagency Report on Orbital Debris (Office of Science and Technology Policy, Executive Office of the President, 1995).

 Orbital Mechanics
Inclination is the angular distance between a satellite's orbital plane and the equator of its primary (or the ecliptic plane in the case of heliocentric, or sun centered, orbits).
The orbital elements discussed at the beginning of this section provide an excellent reference for describing orbits, however there are other forces acting on a satellite that perturb it away from the nominal orbit.
Orbital transfer becomes more complicated when the object is to rendezvous with or intercept another object in space: both the interceptor and the target must arrive at the rendezvous point at the same time.

 eMedicine - Fractures, Orbital : Article by Thomas Widell, MD
Weakest portion of the orbit is the thin orbital floor (maxilla) and the lamina papyracea (ethmoid bone) medially and inferiorly.
Superior orbital rim fracture is a frontal bone fracture that is associated with high-impact injuries to the brain, face, and cervical spine.
Another sign of orbital blow-out fracture is the teardrop sign, an opacification in the upper maxillary sinus, which represents periorbital fat and possibly an entrapped extraocular muscle in the maxillary sinus.

The orbital radius is measured in meters from the center, not the surface, of the Earth.
Orbital planning software calculates one set of conics to define the spacecraft's trajectory at launch, calculates a second set of conics for the spacecraft's trajectory at its target, and tries to find one conic in each set that match up.
The constant can be simplified by specifying the orbital radius in terms of the Earth's orbit, or "astronomical unit (AU)", the orbital period in terms the Earth's orbital period, or years, and the system mass in terms of multiples of the mass of the Sun.

 Orbital Debris: A Technical Assessment -- Executive Summary   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Although the uncontrolled reentry of some orbital debris could potentially pose a hazard to activities on the Earth's surface, the major hazard posed by debris is to space operations.
Although measurements of the medium-sized debris environment are sparse, the population of medium-sized orbital debris also appears to be greater than the population of medium-sized micrometeoroids in the regions of LEO where measurements have been made.
In orbital regions that are too high above the atmosphere for economical deorbiting or orbital lifetime reduction maneuvers, spacecraft or rocket bodies can be moved to "disposal orbits" a safe distance away from valuable orbital regions at the end of their functional lifetimes.

The two colors represent the signs of the various lobes of the orbital wavefunctions - red is positive and blue negative.
Orbital regions of like-sign on two or more atoms interact (or overlap) with constructive intereference, and produce bonding interactions, whereas regions of opposite sign interact with destructive interference and produce antibonding interactions.

 Introduction to Molecular Orbital Theory
The upper molecular orbital has a node in the electronic wave function and the electron density is low between the two positively charged nuclei.
This highest occupied orbital has a lobe pointing away from the three hydrogens, and corresponds to a lone pair orbital localized upon the nitrogen, whereas the three lowest energy MO's lead to the description of the three N-H bonds of the Lewis structure.
These orbitals are much higher in energy than those in neutral aromatic species such as benzene, indicating that this anion is far more susceptible t attack by electrophiles.

In the simpler valence theory of the chemical bond, each atom in a molecule is assumed to retain its own electrons.
The molecular orbital theory, however, treats each electron as associated with the molecule as a whole.
Each orbital can hold a maximum of two valence electrons and the structure of the molecule is built up by filling the lowest energy orbitals first.
