Orbital maneuvering, also known as deep-space maneuvering, enables propulsion systems to alter the spacecraft's orbit. While ...

This means that objects in small orbits travel faster than objects in large orbits. The graph shows how the orbital speed of a planet changes with its distance from the Sun.

This is because the speed of an orbiting object is related to the height of its orbit, so when the spacecraft is closer to the Earth than the ISS, it is travelling faster, so in theory it could ...

These planets are typically characterized by their small size, proximity to their stars, and extremely short orbital periods. TOI-3261 b is one of only four known exoplanets in this category.
