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 1, English, - escape%20orbit
