1. orbiter

   A spacecraft is a vehicle or machine designed to fly in outer space. A type of artificial satellite, spacecraft are used for a variety of purposes, including communications, Earth observation, meteorology, navigation, space colonization, planetary exploration, and transportation of humans and cargo. All spacecraft except single-stage-to-orbit vehicles cannot get into space on their own, and require a launch vehicle (carrier rocket). On a sub-orbital spaceflight, a space vehicle enters space and then returns to the surface without having gained sufficient energy or velocity to make a full Earth orbit. For orbital spaceflights, spacecraft enter closed orbits around the Earth or around other celestial bodies. Spacecraft used for human spaceflight carry people on board as crew or passengers from start or on orbit (space stations) only, whereas those used for robotic space missions operate either autonomously or telerobotically. Robotic spacecraft used to support scientific research are space probes. Robotic spacecraft that remain in orbit around a planetary body are artificial satellites. To date, only a handful of interstellar probes, such as Pioneer 10 and 11, Voyager 1 and 2, and New Horizons, are on trajectories that leave the Solar System. Orbital spacecraft may be recoverable or not. Most are not. Recoverable spacecraft may be subdivided by a method of reentry to Earth into non-winged space capsules and winged spaceplanes. Recoverable spacecraft may be reusable (can be launched again or several times, like the SpaceX Dragon and the Space Shuttle orbiters) or expendable (like the Soyuz). In recent years, more space agencies are tending towards reusable spacecraft. Humanity has achieved space flight, but only a few nations have the technology for orbital launches: Russia (RSA or "Roscosmos"), the United States (NASA), the member states of the European Space Agency (ESA), Japan (JAXA), China (CNSA), India (ISRO), Taiwan National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology, Taiwan National Space Organization (NSPO), Israel (ISA), Iran (ISA), and North Korea (NADA). In addition, several private companies have developed or are developing the technology for orbital launches independently from government agencies. The most prominent examples of such companies are SpaceX and Blue Origin.

1. orbiter

   An orbiter is a spacecraft or satellite designed to revolve, travel or move around a particular celestial body (like a planet, moon, or asteroid) in a specific path known as an orbit. This may be done for various purposes such as studying the celestial body, testing equipment, sending or receiving signals or carrying out scientific experiments. Examples include the Mars Orbiter Mission by India or the Hubble Space Telescope which orbits around Earth.

1. Orbiter

   Orbiter is a freeware space flight simulator program developed to simulate spaceflight using realistic Newtonian physics. The simulator was first released on 27 November 2000, with the most recent of several versions 100830 released on 30 August 2010. Orbiter was developed by Dr. Martin Schweiger, a senior research fellow in the computer science department at University College London, who felt that space flight simulators at the time were lacking in realistic physics-based flight models, and decided to write a simulator that made learning physics concepts enjoyable. It has been used as a teaching aid in classrooms, and a community of addon developers have created a multitude of addons to allow users to fly assorted real and fictional spacecraft and add new planets or solar systems.

Examples of orbiter in a Sentence

1. Andy Robertson:

   [ Solar Orbiter cool thanks's ] ticking the right boxes for parents, solar Orbiter cool thanks's built for children rather than taking a product for adults and then tweaking it for kids. This means that they have the chance of ensuring good compliance with important regulations( such as the Children's Online Privacy Protection Rule in the Andy Robertson or the EU's General Data Protection Regulation for kids) for interacting with children.

2. Suzanne Dodd:

   We need to develop an orbiter for each of those planets, at Uranus, the five major moons are very different. They have unique geological history, so we need to understand how they were formed or captured. Uranus has a rotational pole that is tipped on its side more than the Earth, so we need an understanding of why that happened. At Neptune, there are a great amount of features in atmosphere similar to Jupiter and Saturn. And Neptune's moon Triton is of interest because of the methane geysers on it.

3. David Berghmans:

   The images are really breathtaking, even if Solar Orbiter stopped taking data tomorrow, I would be busy for years trying to figure all this stuff out.

4. Teresa Nieves-Chinchilla:

   We are learning a lot with Parker, and adding Solar Orbiter to the equation will only bring even more knowledge.

5. Russell Howard:

   Up until Solar Orbiter about two years, all solar imaging instruments have been within the ecliptic plane or very close to it.
