Work is underway on the development of a new family of launch vehicles for the Air Force Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV) Program. This program also has significant commercial program insertion. Called Delta IV, this group includes medium- and heavy-lift vehicles. The largest will be abl...
The United States uses Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and the Kennedy Space Center to launch into equatorial orbits. An ecliptic orbit is a non-inclined orbit with respect to the solar system ecliptic. An inclined orbit is any orbit that does not have zero inclination to the plane or ...
