Newbie question here...Do you think it is beyond this newsgroup to discuss
in as basic terms as possible the complications of going to orbit, and moving from one orbit to another? I am always very interested in reading the threads about launching craft and the complexities of moving the craft while in orbit. My brain works like most others I expect, in thinking that in space you don't need much energy do to anything, when in reality I know this is not true. Unfortunately when the astro-geeks starting refereing to delta v, nodes, etc. my eyes glaze over. So what do you think? How about a little 101 course based on this scenario: BVASA (BV's NASA) wants to launch their new BAO Telescope (Big Ass Optical) into orbit. Once in orbit, BVASA decides the telescope would be better off near the north pole because part of the year it's night longer (insert tongue in cheek of course). So how do we launch it? How do we move it? -- BV. Flight Director BVASA BAO Telescope Project www.iheartmypond.com |
