The use of friction against a planet’s atmosphere to slow a spacecraft for insertion into orbit.  3, record 1, English, - aerocapture

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT

Aerocapture is the technique by which the Martian atmosphere slows down an incoming spacecraft to attain orbit. Instead of braking a spacecraft using conventional thrusters, the thin Martian atmosphere can be used to change the course of the spacecraft into a hyperbolic trajectory encircling the planet. A related process called aerobraking uses atmospheric drag to slow down a vehicle for landing. The most notable example of aerobraking application is the Mars Pathfinder probe.  4, record 1, English, - aerocapture

An escape orbit... is a high-energy parabolic orbit around the central body. A body in this orbit has at each position the escape velocity with respect to this central body, for this position. If this energy were further increased, the orbit would turn to a hyperbolic trajectory.  2, record 3, English, - escape%20orbit

Curve formed by intersection of plane with right circular cone.  3, record 4, English, - conic%20section

Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 CONT

When a right circular cone of revolution is cut by planes at different angles, four curves of intersection are obtained that are called conic sections ... When the intersecting plane is perpendicular to the axis ... a circle ... If the plane makes a greater angle with the axis than do the elements ... an ellipse ... If the plane makes the same angle with the axis as the elements ... a parabola ... Finally, if the plane makes a smaller angle with the axis than do the elements or is parallel to the axis ... a hyperbola.  4, record 4, English, - conic%20section

Record number: 4, Textual support number: 2 CONT

The parabola and the hyperbola, together with the ellipse and the circle, make up the family of conic sections, so called because each can be obtained by slicing a circular cone with a plane at various angles. Conic sections became objects of intense interest in the seventeenth century, first when the German astronomer Johannes Kepler determined that planets, comets and other bodies orbit the sun in elliptical paths, and later when Newton discovered that those bodies may also follow parabolic and hyperbolic orbits.  5, record 4, English, - conic%20section
