At launch the A-4 propelled itself for up to 65 seconds on its own power, and a program motor controlled the pitch to the specified angle at engine shutdown, from which the rocket continued on a ballistic free-fall trajectory.

In fiber optic telecommunications, the launch angle has the following meanings:

If the end face of the fiber is perpendicular to the fiber axis, the launch angle is equal to the angle of incidence.

Jumping can be distinguished from running, galloping, and other gaits where the entire body is temporarily airborne by the relatively long duration of the aerial phase and high angle of initial launch.

The maximum possible horizontal travel distance occurs at a launch angle of 45 degrees, but any launch angle between 35 and 55 degrees will result in ninety percent of the maximum possible distance.

Following a vertical launch from a simple steel table, the vehicle was programmed so that it was traveling at an angle of 40 degrees from the horizontal at burnout of the first stage, which occurred 157 seconds after launch.

Once this had occurred, Napoleon would mass his reserves at the hinge of that right angle and launch a heavy attack to break the lines.

The rocket men were trained to launch their rockets at an angle calculated from the diameter of the cylinder and the distance of the target.

In the 2007 season, Cedar Point built Maverick, which features a drop at a 95-degree angle and includes an LSM launch in the middle of the ride reaching speeds of.

As weight increases, specific designs are chosen for their additional flying characteristics, such as line pull, wind range, flying angle and ease of launch.

Sparred kites such as the rokkaku or delta tend to fly at a higher angle than parafoils, which is of benefit when the space between the launch site and photographic subject is limited.

: ( Equation II: angle of projectile launch )

Given a hill angle and launch angle as before, it can be shown that the range along the hill forms a ratio with the original range along the imaginary horizontal, such that:

In order to maneuver sufficiently from a poor launch angle at short ranges to hit its target, missiles are now employing gas-dynamic flight control methods such as vectored thrust, which allow the missile to start turning “ off the rail ”, before its motor has accelerated it up to high enough speeds for its small aerodynamic surfaces to be useful.

The TS1000 sold for $ 99. 95 in the US when it debuted, making it the cheapest home computer to date at the time of its launch ( its advertising angle was " the first computer under $ 100 ".

These sensors were connected to the command module and Saturn launch vehicle guidance computers, allowing calculation of dynamic pressure ( q ) during atmospheric flight, and also the angle of attack in the event of an abort.

# Footwork: Proper footwork is used to enable the proper balancing of the body, to support combinations of strikes and launch strikes from the proper angle or distance.

Various spin-offs and modifications to the original Duke Nukem 3D were produced in the following years of the game's initial launch.

In the initial phase of liftoff, the Saturn V launch vehicle was powered by the reaction of liquid oxygen with RP-1.

Some spacecraft were modified after initial production ( refurbished after launch abort, modified for longer missions, etc.

On September 3, 2007, thousands of Panamanians stood across from Paraíso Hill in Panama to witness a huge initial explosion and launch of the Expansion Program.

The project was extremely controversial and was not completed in time for the R-9's initial launch, and thus the units were limited to defensive roles and minimal offensive capacity.

At first, they failed: initial preference was given to the Vanguard program whose launch vehicle had a strange and uncanny way of exploding on national television.

The early era of space exploration was driven by a " Space Race " between the Soviet Union and the United States, the launch of the first man-made object to orbit the Earth, the USSR's Sputnik 1, on 4 October 1957, and the first Moon landing by the American Apollo 11 craft on 20 July 1969 are often taken as the boundaries for this initial period.

After the initial nuclear exchange in Europe, the United States enacts its " launch on warning " policy which will launch a full-scale nuclear attack on the Soviet Union if and when the United States receives indication that the Soviet Union is preparing to do the same.

For vertical launch of a rocket the initial thrust must be more than the weight.

Exploration Mission-1 ( EM-1 ) is the unmanned initial launch of SLS, which is planned for 2017.

Sailplanes, hang gliders and paragliders can gain some initial energy from a launch process, but can then gain additional potential energy from rising air such as thermals and ridge lift.

Following the moment of launch ( i. e., initial loss of contact with the substrate ), a jumper will traverse a parabolic path.

Following the launch of the Soviet satellite Sputnik 1 on October 4, 1957, the initial Project Orbiter program was revived as the Explorer program to catch up with the Soviet Union.

An initial public offering ( IPO ) or stock market launch is a type of public offering where shares of stock in a company are sold to the general public, on a securities exchange, for the first time.

The initial launch of the pendulum is critical ; the traditional way to do this is to use a flame to burn through a thread which temporarily holds the bob in its starting position, thus avoiding unwanted sideways motion.

A spaceflight typically begins with a rocket launch, which provides the initial thrust to overcome the force of gravity and propels the spacecraft from the surface of the Earth.

Rock the Canyon: Art & Music Festival is an annual event in the community of Shonto since its initial launch in 2009.

Nor were any of the initial launch titles written by Grant Morrison, who had similarly finished his seminal runs on both Animal Man and Doom Patrol under the DC logo.

Although the " mature reader " works of Alan Moore, Grant Morrison ( with Jamie Delano and Neil Gaiman ) under the DC imprint paved the way for Vertigo's launch, neither author was part of the initial line-up.

Neil Gaiman, who went on to become a New York Times best-selling novelist, came to prominence four years pre-Vertigo with the launch of The Sandman for DC Comics, a title that became the backbone of the initial Vertigo line-up.

Peter Milligan, who began his career at 2000 AD, before working briefly for both Pacific Comics and Eclipse Comics, contributed two titles ( one quarter of the initial line-up ; the same as Gaiman ) to the Vertigo launch.

Power generated by muscles, however, is limited by force – velocity relationship, and even at the optimal contraction speed for power production, total work done by the muscle will be less than half of what could be done if the muscle were contracting over the same distance at very slow speeds, resulting in less than 1 / 4 the projectile launch velocity possible without the limitations of the force – velocity relationship.

So matching a space shuttle's velocity with that of Venus or Mars would require a significant percentage of the energy which is used to launch a shuttle from Earth's surface.

It is an Inertial Guidance System with an additional Star-Sighting system, which is used to correct small position and velocity errors that result from launch condition uncertainties due to the sub navigation system errors and some errors that have accrued by the guidance system during the flight due to imperfect instrument calibration.

To launch a space vehicle with humans on board, a mass driver's track would need to be several hundreds of kilometers long if providing almost all the velocity to Low Earth Orbit, though lesser length can provide major launch assist.

The low launch velocity against longer-ranged targets was not an issue for the missile.

This results in a kinetic energy at launch that is proportional to the square of the jumper's velocity.

The more work the muscles do, the greater the launch velocity and thus the greater the acceleration and the shorter the time interval of the jump's propulsive phase.

In a moving jump or running jump, the jumper introduces additional vertical velocity at launch while conserving as much horizontal momentum as possible.

Unlike stationary jumps, in which the jumper's kinetic energy at launch is solely due to the jump movement, moving jumps have a higher energy that results from the inclusion of the horizontal velocity preceding the jump.

The simplest way to use mass drivers for spacecraft propulsion would be to build a large mass driver that can accelerate cargo up to escape velocity, though RLV launch assist like StarTram to low earth orbit has also been investigated.

Atmospheric and gravity drag associated with launch typically adds 1. 5 – 2. 0 km / s to the delta-v launch vehicle required to reach normal LEO orbital velocity of around.

Moreover, the lower thrust-to-weight ratio of an air-breathing engine as compared to a rocket significantly decreases the launch vehicle's maximum possible acceleration, and increases gravity losses since more time must be spent to accelerate to orbital velocity.

Operational since 1968, it is particularly suitable as a location for a spaceport as it fulfills the two major geographical requirements of such a site: it is quite close to the equator, so that the spinning earth can impart some extra velocity to the rockets for free when launched eastward, and it has uninhabited territory ( in this case, open sea ) to the east, so that lower stages of rockets and debris from launch failures cannot fall on human habitations.

At this latitude, the Earth's rotation gives a velocity of approximately when the launch trajectory heads eastward.

Their first burn came 94 minutes after launch when they increased their velocity by 16. 5 ft / sec ( 5m / sec ).

The vehicle's four inner H-1 engines shut down at 2 minutes 21. 66 seconds after launch and an altitude of, and its four outer engines shut down at 2 minutes 29. 09 seconds and ; both sets burned slightly longer than was initially estimated, reaching a maximum velocity of.

He first suggested a system of laser propulsion to launch bulk payloads into orbit, using energy from ground-based lasers to increase exhaust velocity and thereby reduce the propellant-to-payload mass ratio.

A two-stage-to-orbit ( TSTO or DSTO-Double / Dual-Stage-To-Orbit ) launch vehicle is a spacecraft in which two distinct stages provide propulsion consecutively in order to achieve orbital velocity.
