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)
Triangle (in fact, this formula holds for "all" tangential polygons), and where formula_59 are the radii of the excircles tangent to sides "a, b, c" respectively. We also have and for circumdiameter "D"; and for angle α ≠ 90°. The area can also be expressed as In 1885, Baker gave a collection of over a hundred distinct area formulas for the triangle. These include: for circumradius (radius of the circumcircle) "R", and The area "T" of any triangle with perimeter "p" satisfies with equality holding if and only if the triangle is equilateral. Other upper bounds on the area "T" are
