3. Orbital Mechanics  Orbit  An orbit is a fixed path in space that the spacecraft follows. Depending on the mission, the size, shape, and orientation of an orbit will vary.  Satellite  A satellite is any object in orbital motion (Sun, Moon, Earth, spacecraft, and shuttle).  The laws that determine the orbital motion of a satellite are the same, no matter what larger body the satellite orbits.  The Earth's gravity determines the size and shape of the orbit of a nearby spacecraft.  The law of gravity requires that the spacecraft must orbit in a plane that passes through the center of the Earth.
