Essays on Azimuth

Why is there not an opportunity to launch a satellite if the launch-site latitude is greater than the inclination?

The Angle between the projection of the initial orbit plane and the north direction is referred to as the Launch Azimuth, (Dux et al. 2011, pp. 1-16). The Azimuth has several implications to the activities of launching a satellite. It creates three possible windows of launching. The launch window refers to the time during which a launch can be done directly from a specific site into an orbital plane. The window duration is affected by factors like the fuel requirements, safety, and the desired points of injection. The launch window is always at the center of the optimal launch ...

Question and Answer

- Given the two photographs, the one which was taken last March 3, 2013 looks to have been taken at a higher altitude than the other. I am able to say this because it has more lines from the inner center to its outer lines compared to the other photo. In other words the higher the number of lines from the center, the higher the altitude used to take the picture. Also, the “March 3, 2013” photo shows shorter lines compared to the one that was taken last 2010. With that, I conclude that because of the wider scope of ...

John Agard’s, ‘Checking out Me History’ is an intricately written poem pointing out on the observation of the English Curriculum as biased to only white people. In the poem, Agard notes that all the English literature, is written by white people for white people. He reveals that the Curriculum intentionally leaves out, distorts and hides important information about black women and men who similarly deserve to be recognized (Seeto 2009). His analysis portrays the fact that controlling what people learn about their past, controls their thoughts, self- identity, and the present (Seeto 2008). There are wide varieties ...

- Abstract Description and Proposal of Project. This project is based on the structural and compositional dynamics of a local forest. The type of forest that is used for this research is Oak-Hickory. A local forester invited our group to conduct a Continuous Forest Inventory (CFI) in the forest. The process involved the setting up of Continuous Forest Inventory plots in this forest. A total of three fifth-acres CFI plots were set of up. The process of setting up these plots involved the random selection of a site within the forest and the identification of a plot center. All trees within 52.7 ...

Literature Review

Several methods exist that are used to identify and characterize fractures (Burnett, 2011). Seismic method is the most effective method of identifying aligned fracture sets. Aligned fracture sets render a rock seismically anisotropic; this implies that the velocities of seismic waves moving through the rock will depend on their direction of propagation (Verdon & Kendall, 2010). The way through which seismic anisotropy manifests itself includes azimuthal variation in reflection amplitudes (Hall & Kendall, 2000). Fromme (2011) investigated the scattering directivity of the A0 Lamb wave mode at through-thickness defects in aluminum plate from FE simulations (Zhou, Li, Mao, Mevel & Ou, 2013). There ...
