Newton's 3rd Law of Motion (for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction) is how rockets generates thrust.

Rocket engines require atmospheric oxygen to operate, making them unsuitable for space.

An isometric sketch shows an object from a single, flat perspective.

In orbital mechanics, a satellite in a geostationary orbit (GEO) remains stationary relative to an observer on Earth.

A decision matrix is a tool used to systematically evaluate design concepts against a set of criteria.

Drag is the aerodynamic force that acts PERPENDICULAR to the direction of flight.

Reverse engineering involves disassembling and analyzing a product to understand how it works, often to improve upon it.

Constraints in a design brief are optional guidelines for the project.

Bernoulli's Principle states that as the speed of a fluid (like air) increases, its pressure decreases.
