Talk:Aerobraking

message: This page needs to be re-written. The author has confused and mixed aerobraking with aerocapture and direct entry.--Belchja 16:41, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Topic needs revising 

message: A much more accurate description of Aeroassist maneuvers is located at Marshall Space Flight Center's In-space propulsion website. 
MCO did not fail because of "an error in the execution of the aerobraking maneuver", it failed because a unit conversion. The trajectory error caused the spacecraft to enter the atmosphere at lower than designed limits and was destroyed because of this.

message: shouldn't this article be merged with that? --Juxi 07:43, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merging with [[Aerocapture]] 

message: There must be some mathematical formula that can be used to calculate how long it takes to aerobrake. If we could find a source that gives that information, it could be useful here. Nat682 (talk) 18:11, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Aerobraking time 

message: Could some English native speaker check section "Method" for grammar - the sentence with "...unpredictability turbulence...to predict..." sounds wrong to me. Ovejan (talk) 12:39, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, fixed this and improved (I hope) some other wording as well. LouScheffer (talk) 11:18, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Grammar and style 

message: comparable to that acted on the hand? (chapter Method) Consider 3.7 m2 of sonde vs. 0,02 m2 of the hand.  --Helium4 (talk) 12:19, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Force or force density  

message: The article describes the Hiten probe as decelerating by 1.712 meters/second during its aerobraking maneuver, dropping its apogee by 8665 km. This is clearly off by a factor of a thousand, at the initial speed they describe (11 km/s), decelerating by 1.712 kilometers/second would produce the stated drop in apogee. I've changed the article to read "km/s". Unfortunately the source cited also has that typo, so I wanted to make a note of the change here. Drunaii (talk) 17:36, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
