The approximate Pareto fronts suggest generally improving cost-efficient of the network and reducing the network stability for decreased the number of
orbital planes. Fig.

orbital plane," Nonlinear Dynamics, vol.
Although this calculation assumes that Hyperion's spin axis remains perpendicular to its
orbital plane, studies have shown that the satellite should also be undergoing
We can separate the contributions into radiation with electrical vector parallel [P.sub.[parallel]]([psi], [lambda]) and perpendicular [P.sub.[perpendicular to]]([psi], [lambda]) to the
orbital plane of the electrons.
The
orbital plane location can be another dominant parameter.
The planets occupy nearly the same
orbital plane and on their closest approach come within about 1.2 million miles of each other-just five times the Earth-Moon distance and about 20 times closer to one another than any two planets in our solar system.
After Saturn, Voyager 1 heads northward of the planets'
orbital plane.
Seen from Earth, a planet can pass in front of its parent star once per orbit--but only if the
orbital plane is aligned edge on with Earth.
Thanks to the 23 1/2[degrees] tilt of Earth's axis with respect to its
orbital plane, the Sun's highest point in the sky changes depending on the time of year.
