The mission planners updated the orbital elements to account for atmospheric drag.

Engineers adjusted an orbital element to lower the satellite's perigee and achieve the desired reentry trajectory.

The computational chemist visualized the molecular orbitals to understand the bonding patterns.

When modeling satellite motion, engineers often approximate the path using osculating orbits at successive time steps.

Orbital symmetries determine which molecular vibrations are Raman-active and which are infrared-active.

The workshop purchased two new orbital sanders to speed up the finishing process.

The forensic anthropologist measured the orbital ridges to estimate the age of the remains.

Researchers are studying Clarke orbits to improve satellite placement for global communications.

Chemists often analyze frontier orbitals to predict how molecules will react in electron-transfer processes.

Chemists used hybrid orbitals to explain the unusual bond angles in the molecule.
