The trajectory of a spacecraft’s center of mass in space is called its orbit, which entails physical features such as position, velocity, acceleration, and time. The orbital characteristics of a spacecraft are mainly affected by different factors including its initial kinematic properties, the mechanical environment of space, active control forces, and the geometric features of motion. Orbital dynamics and the associated control technologies are critical components of spacecraft engineering.
