A2 - How Orbits Work
Manage episode 331313912 series 3356925
In our second ancillary, we briefly discuss the mechanics of orbits, how spacecraft and other objects circle a body in space without falling into it or flying away. This is a critical concept in spaceflight and will be important to understand as we move forward with the story.
