actually the answer i'm looking for is something like this: Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion are three mathematical laws that describe the motion of planets in the Solar System.but since your answer is also right then i'll give you the points Bob Sanders..[1]do NOT spam[2]answer the LATEST question[3]just ANSWER!!!and ENJOY!!![4]do NOT copy and paste! try to change the sentence a bit[ok?]*i'll indicate the points in each question...might give bonuses and clues...*bonus=1pt[scoreboard]Lelouch Vi Britannia---97swankman---47Genevance---41Channel28---32Bob Sanders---30geron122---29tsigma6---14kulengaz---14TyphoonMaster---13LookOverThereADistraction---10Skysplitter---8RzmmDX---6Cursed_Light---5Analogman---5Ody---4ANVILZ---41girlpokemonmaster---4Buffalo Chips---3monomer---2MetaKnightsWaddleDoo---2Sosica---2thiefofpi---1zlipus---1maffiej---1[Q172=2pt]What is the Oberth effect?

Closer to the center of a gravitational body results in greater final speed then at different parts (further away, specifically) of that same body.Using a rocket engine, of course :P

Spacecrafts use bi-elliptic transfers to change from one orbit to another. It's called that because it uses two half-elliptical movements.

Lagrangian points are locations in space where the gravitational force and the orbital motion of an object is balanced.

The so-called interplanetary superhighway (or interplanetary transport network) would take advantage of the gravitational pull between celestial bodies. In many cases, the competing forces cancel each other out, leaving corridors where ships could travel using little or no fuel.. Its like a tube, where things woulnd't be out of bounds there because of the competing gravitational forces between celestial bodies..

GTO is an anime.. lol GTO is an orbit at modest inclination with perigee at low Earth orbit and apogee at geostationary orbit. The usual intermediate step en route to Geostationary orbit. Ariane launches directly into GTO, some other launchers launch into low Earth orbit and then boost into GTO.
