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)
1 in 60 rule is required, the numbers work out with the same rule: 1% over 1 NM ≈ 60' It is also useful to find out the lateral deviation from a given VOR course or radial: Each dot on a VOR indicator represents 2° of deviation, or 200' per dot per DME. There are other applications to this rule. One such application is time drift. An hour is equal to 60 minutes, and a minute is equal to 60 seconds, so some other relationships between angle and time can be observed. If a pilot is flying a leg of 120 miles and finds
