Similar Stories to What Is Orbital Sciences? on Bing News

Aerospace company Orbital Sciences Corp. suffered a big failure late Tuesday when one of its unmanned rockets bound for the station exploded moments after liftoff. The launch pad failure is a setback for a company with a 30-year history in private spaceflight, including 42 successful missions on its Pegasus small-payload rockets since 1990. The explosion also comes at a delicate time for the company, which is closing a $5 billion merger with defense contractor ATK. The company's launch pad and other facilities near a Virginia site were spared major damage, based on a preliminary analysis, Orbital executives said Wednesday. Orbital has a contract with Boeing to make boosters for missile defense. Orbital Sciences' most high-profile competitor in private spaceflight is Elon Musk's Space Exploration Technologies Corp., commonly called SpaceX. According to the company's history page, it got its first NASA contract in 1985, when it had 20 employees. In 2009, a NASA mission to monitor global warming from space ended when the satellite plunged into the ocean near Antarctica minutes after launch.

  • Atomic orbital
    In quantum mechanics, an atomic orbital (/ ˈ ɔːr b ɪ t ə l /) is a function describing the location and wave-like behavior of an electron in an atom. This function describes the electron's charge distribution around the atom's nucleus, and can be used to calculate the probability of finding an electron in a specific region around the nucleus.

  • The periodic table, electron shells, and orbitals
    The first electron shell, 1n, corresponds to a single 1 s ‍ orbital. The 1 s ‍ orbital is the closest orbital to the nucleus, and it fills with electrons first, before any other orbital. Hydrogen has just one electron, so it has a single spot in the 1 s ‍ orbital occupied.

  • 7.6: The Shape of Atomic Orbitals
    An orbital is the quantum mechanical refinement of Bohr’s orbit. In contrast to his concept of a simple circular orbit with a fixed radius, orbitals are mathematically derived regions of space with different probabilities of containing an electron.

  • Shells, subshells, and orbitals (video) | Khan Academy
    An orbital is a space where a specific pair of electrons can be found. We classified the different Orbital into shells and sub shells to distinguish them more easily. This is also due to the history when they were discovered.

  • Orbitals
    2) Orbitals are combined when bonds form between atoms in a molecule. There are four types of orbitals that you should be familiar with s, p, d and f (sharp, principle, diffuse and fundamental). Within each shell of an atom there are some combinations of orbitals. In the n=1 shell you only find s orbitals, in the n=2 shell, you have s and p ...
