Orbital mechanics [r]: Add brief definition or description
Telemetry [r]: Electromagnetic transmission of the observations taken by remote sensors ^[e]

Rocket motor [r]: A means of generating thrust, for propulsion or for adjusting a position, based on the hot gases expelled by a mixture of chemicals that does not need an external oxygen source ^[e]
Staging (rocket) [r]: Add brief definition or description
Space launch vehicle [r]: A means of transportation through the atmosphere and into outer space; it may return, go into satellite orbit, or into an escape trajectory. Ballistic missiles are excluded ^[e]

Guided missile [r]: A weapon that flies through air or space, under its own power, which adjusts its course to hit its target. ^[e]
Ballistic missile [r]: A guided missile which, once its engines stop firing, follows a generally parabolic path to its target, defined by momentum, aerodynamic resistance, and gravity ^[e]
SS-1 SCUD [r]: A Soviet-designed short range and inaccurate ballistic missile, a near-copy of the Second World War V-2 missile, that was widely exported, copied, employed as a base for new development, and used in combat by Iraq ^[e]
Submarine launched ballistic missile [r]: Add brief definition or description
V-2 [r]: World's first operational ballistic missile, developed by Nazi Germany: (Vergeltungswaffe 2). ^[e]
Atlas (missile) [r]: Add brief definition or description
Anti-ballistic missile [r]: Add brief definition or description
Anti-cruise missile missile [r]: Add brief definition or description
