| higher orbit | 1.97 | They also gave the station a lift to a higher orbit. | ||
| low orbit | 1.65 | Not just hit, but sent into low orbit. | ||
| geostationary orbit | 1.58 | It will be placed in geostationary orbit high above Sri Lanka. | ||
| circular orbit | 1.32 | So far we have been discussing circular orbits. | ||
| elliptical orbit | 1.12 | The earth moves around the sun in an elliptical orbit. | ||
| proper orbit | 0.99 | But the agency failed to position the satellite into the proper geostationary orbit. | ||
| high orbit | 0.66 | It will be placed in geostationary orbit high above Sri Lanka. | ||
| different orbit | 0.59 | Even if they did, moving to an alternate satellite in a different orbit is a labor-intensive process. | ||
| lunar orbit | 0.59 | A few days later, it will enter lunar orbit. | ||
| eccentric orbit | 0.46 | Theorists have proposed several possible explanations for such eccentric orbits. | ||
| elongated orbit | 0.46 | Comets are hunks of dirt and ice with elongated orbits that take them from the outer solar system to near the sun. | ||
| lower orbit | 0.46 | The cargo ships would use their engines to direct Mir into lower orbits. | ||
| designated orbit | 0.39 | The satellite successfully entered its designated orbit later Friday. | ||
| intended orbit | 0.39 | A rocket motor failed and the spacecraft did not reach its intended orbit. | ||
| polar orbit | 0.39 | This means India would be able to put satellites of other countries into the polar orbit for a fee. | ||
| closer orbit | 0.33 | Closer orbits imply higher speeds. | ||
| exact orbit | 0.33 | She said astronomers would continue to observe Comet Hale Bopp to pin down its exact orbit. | ||
| fractured orbit | 0.33 | He has a fractured orbit in his right eye. | ||
| new orbit | 0.33 | -- Attach nuclear-powered rockets to the asteroid to gradually accelerate it into a new orbit. | ||
| planned orbit | 0.33 | Mission officials said the Columbia achieved its planned orbit with only minor trouble. |
