To introduce some theoretical considerations and terminology of space operation article points out some elementary principles from physics and mathematic governing satellite behavior; review of basic relation between acceleration and force, together with principles of inverse square attraction due to gravity, conservation of energy, and conservation of momentum; rocket propulsion parameters and applications of rocket power; orbital motion about central body, including changes in plane of orbit, and problems in maneuvering orbital spacecraft over selected points on rotating earth are considered.
