Aeronautics
Across
- 5. The direction on your trajectory in which you are going towards
- 8. Separate section of the rocket that is usually discarted after use that contains its own propellant and engine.
- 12. A manuver aimed to increase fuel efficiency by tilting the spacecraft slightly during ascent
- 13. The direction perpendicular to the orbital plane
- 15. The use of propulsion mechanisms to change an craft's orbit
- 17. A solid material that when burned release energy for propulsion
- 18. The opposite reactive force of ejecting hot gas out of the engine
Down
- 1. A curved trajectory that reaches space but is not quite a n orbit
- 2. A material that is used together with liquid fuel for combustion when oxygen can't be harnessed from elsewhere
- 3. Curved trajectory around a massive body that is influenced by gravity
- 4. Force of gravity acting on an object
- 6. The opposite direction to normal
- 7. An orbital manuver usually made on the perigee to enter the moons sphere of influence
- 9. The direction pointing away from the center of the orbit
- 10. Machine that converts liquid fuel and oxidiser ito hot air and ejects it
- 11. The opposite direction of Prograde
- 14. A type of substance that can be used to harness energy for propulsion
- 16. The direction pointing to the center of the orbit
