| 11. | After completing 86 communications sessions and 52 orbits of the Moon at various inclinations and altitudes, it began its descent.
|
| 12. | Once the orbit of the Moon closes to a distance of, it will cross the Earth's Roche limit.
|
| 13. | Scheduled for launching next September, the spacecraft is to go into an orbit of the Moon that repeatedly crosses both poles.
|
| 14. | These occur with monthly periodicities and are related to tidal stresses caused by the eccentric orbit of the Moon about the Earth.
|
| 15. | Because the orbit of the Moon is tilted only 5?from the ecliptic, the interior of this crater lies in perpetual darkness.
|
| 16. | As they began their 74th and final orbit of the Moon, the crew positioned the spacecraft for the correct attitude for release.
|
| 17. | Due to tidal acceleration, the orbit of the Moon around the Earth becomes about 2.2 cm more distant each year.
|
| 18. | The orbits of the moon and stars are sufficiently inclined that the inhabitants of the planet have seldom seen an eclipse or occultation.
|
| 19. | With its apogee as far as the orbit of the Moon, Spektr-R could be considered a deep-space mission.
|
| 20. | We do have an article on the orbit of the Moon . talk ) 17 : 46, 27 March 2008 ( UTC)
