Abstract
A method is provided for efficient orbital launch trajectories. A payload (e.g., satellite) is launched as high as a first radius with respect to the center of the Earth. The method decreases the payload altitude in response to a gravitational pull of the Earth, and ultimately the payload attains a stable orbit around the Earth at a second radius with respect to the center of the Earth. If the first radius is twice the second radius, the payload acquires a gravitational first potential energy at the first radius, and in the stable orbit the payload has a second (potential and kinetic) energy equal to the gravitational first potential energy, with the second kinetic energy being equal to the energy required to maintain a stable orbital velocity. Advantageously, the stable orbit can potentially be at any orbital inclination angle in the range between 0 and 360 degrees.
