followed by Electron's kick stage fine-tuning the mission's orbit. Electron deployed its payloads two at a time, just under an hour after launch, where the satellites began their synchronized ...

Conventionally, the efficiency of electron spin polarization during conduction is coupled to the relativistic effect of spin-orbit coupling, a mechanism that becomes stronger with heavier elements.

In general, as the distance from the Sun increases: the temperature decreases, eg Mercury is 430°C whereas Neptune is –200°C the time taken to orbit the Sun increases, eg Mercury orbits once ...
