[edit] Heliosynchronous orbit

Yes indeed why would Heliosynchronous be wrong to say? It has the exact same meaning... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.254.5.198 (talk) 19:16, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Is the article correct in saying that the term "heliosynchronous orbit" is rarely used relative to "sun-synchronous"? In my mild experience reading and studying physics, just the opposite is true. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 128.206.231.43 (talk) 06:44, 24 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] dynamical form factor

The equation for J2 is misleading at best. J2 is not defined with respect to the Earth's rotation rate, and the precession rate does not depend directly on this rate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Optiker (talk • contribs) 10:59, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
