orbitalból

Orbital boll is a term sometimes used to describe a phenomenon where an object, typically a spacecraft or satellite, enters into a highly elliptical orbit around a celestial body, such as a planet or moon. This orbit is characterized by a significant difference between its closest point to the body (periapsis) and its farthest point (apoapsis). Such orbits can arise from various orbital maneuvers or gravitational interactions.

The term "boll" itself is not a standard astronomical term and might be informal or specific to a particular context. When an object enters an orbital boll, its velocity changes dramatically throughout its orbit. It moves very rapidly when close to the central body and slows down considerably as it moves farther away. This type of orbit can be used for specific scientific missions, such as surveying large areas of a planet or moon from varying altitudes, or for observing distant phenomena.

Achieving an orbital boll often requires precise application of thruster burns or strategic use of gravitational assists from other celestial bodies. The trajectory can be computationally complex to predict and maintain. While not a formal designation, understanding the concept of an orbital boll helps to visualize and describe highly eccentric orbital paths in space.
