The International Space Station (ISS) is a space station, or a habitable artificial satellite, in low Earth orbit.
 Its first component launched into orbit in 1998, and the ISS is now the largest human-made body in low Earth orbit and can often be seen with the naked eye from Earth.
 The ISS consists of pressurised modules, external trusses, solar arrays, and other components.
 ISS components have been launched by Russian Proton and Soyuz rockets, and American Space Shuttles.
DRAGONSat (Dual RF Astrodynamic GPS Orbital Navigator Satellite) is a pair of nanosatellites that will be demonstrating autonomous rendezvous and docking (ARD) in low Earth orbit (LEO) for NASA.
 It will be gathering flight data with a global positioning system (GPS) receiver strictly designed for space applications to gather flight data in the space environment.
 ARD is the capability of two independent spacecraft to rendezvous in orbit and dock without crew intervention.
 One DRAGONSat was built by the University of Texas and the other one was built by Texas A and M University, the Space Shuttle Payload Launcher (SSPL), These satellite projects will rendezvous and dock with each other in space without the benefit of human intervention.
Leroy Chiao (born August 28, 1960) is an American engineer, former NASA astronaut, entrepreneur, motivational speaker, and engineering consultant.
 Chiao flew on three Space Shuttle flights, and was the commander of Expedition 10, where he lived on board the International Space Station from October 13, 2004 to April 24, 2005.
 He is also a co-author and researcher for the Advanced Diagnostic Ultrasound in Microgravity project.
A Resident Space Object (RSO) is a natural or artificial object that orbits another body e.g. Sun Orbiting, Earth Orbiting, Mars Orbiting etc.
 It is most often used to reference objects that are Earth orbiting.
 In the case of Earth orbiting the possible orbit classifications for an object are: Low Earth orbit (LEO), Medium Earth orbit (MEO), High Earth orbit (HEO) or Geosynchronous Earth orbit (GEO).
A space station, also known as an orbital station or an orbital space station, is a spacecraft capable of supporting crewmembers, which is designed to remain in space (most commonly as an artificial satellite in low Earth orbit) for an extended period of time and for other spacecraft to dock.
 A space station is distinguished from other spacecraft used for human spaceflight by lack of major propulsion or landing systems.
 Instead, other vehicles transport people and cargo to and from the station.
 s of 2016 three space stations are in orbit: the International Space Station, which is permanently manned, China's Tiangong-1 (defunct) and Tiangong-2 (launched 15 September 2016, not permanently manned).
 Previous stations include the Almaz and Salyut series, Skylab, and most recently "Mir".
The beta angle (formula_1) is a measurement that is used most notably in spaceflight.
 The beta angle determines the percentage of time an object such as a spacecraft in low Earth orbit (LEO) spends in direct sunlight, absorbing solar energy.
 Beta angle is defined as the angle between the orbital plane of the spacecraft and the vector to the sun (i.e., which direction the Sun is shining from).
 The beta angle is the smaller angle (there are two angles) between the Sun vector (where the Sun is shining from in the sky) and the plane of the object's orbit.
 Note that the beta angle does not define a unique orbit plane; all satellites in orbit with a given beta angle at a given altitude have the same exposure to the Sun, even though they may be orbiting in completely different planes around the Earth.
 The beta angle varies between +90° and −90°, and the direction the satellite revolves around the body it orbits determines whether the beta angle sign is positive or negative.
 An imaginary observer standing on the Sun defines a beta angle as positive if the satellite in question orbits in a counter clockwise direction and negative if it revolves clockwise.
 The maximum amount of time that a satellite in a normal low Earth orbit mission can spend in the Earth's shadow occurs at a beta angle of zero.
 In such an orbit, the satellite is in sunlight no more than 59% of the time.
Mir (Russian: Мир , ] ; lit.
 "Peace" or "World") was a Soviet and later Russian space station, operational in low Earth orbit from 1986 to 2001.
 With a mass greater than that of any previous space station, "Mir" was the first of the non-monolithic, third generation of space stations, constructed from 1986 to 1996 with a modular design.
 The station was the largest artificial satellite orbiting the Earth until its deorbit on 21 March 2001, a record now surpassed by the International Space Station (ISS).
 "Mir" served as a microgravity research laboratory in which crews conducted experiments in biology, human biology, physics, astronomy, meteorology and spacecraft systems in order to develop technologies required for the permanent occupation of space.
A booster rocket (or engine) is either the first stage of a multistage launch vehicle, or else a shorter-burning rocket used in parallel with longer-burning sustainer rockets to augment the space vehicle's takeoff thrust and payload capability.
 (Boosters used in this way are frequently designated "zero stages".)
 Boosters are traditionally necessary to launch spacecraft into low Earth orbit (absent a single-stage-to-orbit design), and are certainly necessary for a space vehicle to go beyond Earth orbit.
 The booster is dropped to fall back to Earth once its fuel is expended, a point known as booster engine cut-off (BECO).
 The rest of the launch vehicle continues flight with its core or upper-stage engines.
 The booster may be recovered and reused, as was the case of the Space Shuttle.
Badr-1 (Urdu: ‎ , meaning "Full Moon-1") was the first artificial and the first digital communication satellite launched by Pakistan's supreme national space authority – the SUPARCO – in 1990.
 The "Badr-I" was Pakistan's first indigenously developed and manufactured digital communications and an experimental artificial satellite which was launched into low Earth orbit by Pakistan on 16 July 1990, through a Chinese rocket carrier.
 The launch ushered new military, technological, and scientific developments in Pakistan and also provided data on radio-signal distribution in the ionosphere.
 Originally planned to be launched from the United States in 1986, the "Challenger disaster" furthered delayed the launch of the satellite which changed the plan.
 After the People's Republic of China offered Pakistan to use its facility, the "Badr-I" was finally launched from XLSC in 1990 on Long March 2E (LM2E).
 "Badr-I" travelled at 61,500 miles per hour, taking 96.3 minutes to complete an orbit, and emitted radio signals at the 145 to 435 MHz bands which were operated by Pakistan Amateur Radio Society (PARS).
 The "Badr-I" successfully completed its designed life, and a new satellite was proposed to be developed.
Mir (Russian: Мир , ] ; lit.
 "peace" or "world") was a space station that operated in low Earth orbit from 1986 to 2001, operated by the Soviet Union and later by Russia.
 "Mir" was the first modular space station and was assembled in orbit from 1986 to 1996.
 It had a greater mass than any previous spacecraft.
 At the time it was the largest artificial satellite in orbit, succeeded by the International Space Station after Mir's orbit decayed.
 The station served as a microgravity research laboratory in which crews conducted experiments in biology, human biology, physics, astronomy, meteorology and spacecraft systems with a goal of developing technologies required for permanent occupation of space.
