Minimum Specific Fuel Consumption

The lowest fuel consumption rate per unit of thrust produced by an engine at a given speed and altitude.

Damping Ratio (ζ)

A measure of how quickly oscillations in a system decay. It represents the ratio of the actual damping to the critical damping.

Rotation Matrix

A transformation matrix that rotates vectors in space.

Satellite Orbit

A satellite remains in orbit due to a balance between gravitational pull and its forward velocity.
