Beta angle result of the beta angle of the space station at those times. When the orbiter was in-flight (not docked to ISS) and it flew to a beta angle greater than 60 degrees, the orbiter went into "rotisserie" mode, and slowly rotated around its X-axis (nose to tail axis). For flights to ISS, the shuttle could launch during an ISS beta cutout if the ISS would be at a beta less than 60 degrees at dock, and throughout the docked phase. Therefore, the mission duration affected launch timing when the beta cutout dates were approaching. Beta angle The beta angle (formula_1)
Isosceles triangle formula_10. When the isoperimetric inequality becomes an equality, there is only one such triangle, which is equilateral. If the two equal sides have length formula_2 and the other side has length formula_3, then the internal angle bisector formula_22 from one of the two equal-angled vertices satisfies as well as and conversely, if the latter condition holds, an isosceles triangle parametrized by formula_2 and formula_22 exists. The Steiner–Lehmus theorem states that every triangle with two angle bisectors of equal lengths is isosceles. It was formulated in 1840 by C. L. Lehmus. Its other namesake, Jakob Steiner, was one of the first
