𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐃𝐫𝐚𝐠 | 𝐎𝐫𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐌𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐬 & 𝐀𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐲𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝

In this episode, we delve into the crucial forces of lift and drag that influence spacecraft motion.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐘𝐨𝐮’𝐥𝐥 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧:

𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐭 & 𝐃𝐫𝐚𝐠: Understand how these forces affect spacecraft, especially during launch and atmospheric interactions.

𝐃𝐫𝐚𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞: Discover why drag is significantly reduced in space and how it primarily results from atmospheric presence.

𝐃𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐋𝐚𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐡: Learn how the shape of the spacecraft is designed to optimize lift during the ascent phase. Watch as we model lift and drag in FreeFlyer and see how adjusting these forces can change a spacecraft's trajectory.

Whether you're aiming to strengthen your aerospace engineering skills or just fascinated by space mechanics, this video provides key fundamentals.
