What Is This Tool?

This unit converter transforms speed values expressed in mile per second into the third cosmic velocity, a critical measure for determining escape velocity from the Solar System starting near Earth's orbit.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Input the speed value in mile/second you wish to convert.
  • Select mile/second as the source unit and cosmic velocity - third as the target unit.
  • Click the convert button to see the equivalent speed in cosmic velocity - third.
  • Review the output to understand speed relative to solar system escape velocity.

Key Features

  • Converts speed from mile/second (mi/s) to cosmic velocity - third.
  • Applies relevant conversion rates used in aerospace and celestial mechanics.
  • Facilitates calculations related to spacecraft escape trajectories.
  • Browser-based, easy to use for scientists and engineers.
  • Provides clear examples for quick understanding.

Examples

  • 5 mile/second converts to approximately 0.4827 cosmic velocity - third.
  • 10 mile/second converts to about 0.9654 cosmic velocity - third.

Common Use Cases

  • Designing spacecraft trajectories to leave the Solar System.
  • Estimating velocities for interstellar probe missions like Voyager and Pioneer.
  • Analyzing comet or asteroid ejection speeds.
  • Performing celestial mechanics calculations for mission planning.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Understand that cosmic velocity - third applies specifically to solar system escape scenarios.
  • Use this conversion tool primarily for high-speed aerospace and astrophysical applications.
  • Consider additional orbital dynamics factors beyond this basic speed conversion during detailed mission design.
  • Use the examples as a reference to verify your conversions.

Limitations

  • The third cosmic velocity is a theoretical fixed speed based on Earth's orbit and celestial mechanics.
  • Conversions are relevant mainly for objects escaping the Solar System, not for terrestrial or lower orbit speeds.
  • Precision calculations require more complex orbital mechanics and spacecraft propulsion modeling beyond basic unit conversion.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a mile per second (mi/s)?
A mile per second is a speed unit representing one statute mile traveled in one second, equal to exactly 1609.344 meters per second.

What does the third cosmic velocity represent?
The third cosmic velocity is the minimum speed an object must have near Earth's orbit to escape the Sun’s gravity and leave the Solar System permanently.

Can this conversion be used for spacecraft in low Earth orbit?
No, this conversion is primarily relevant to speeds related to escaping the Solar System, not lower orbit speeds or terrestrial velocity measurements.

Key Terminology

Mile/second [mi/s]
A speed unit representing one mile traveled in one second, equal to exactly 1609.344 meters per second.
Cosmic velocity - third
The minimum speed required to escape the Sun’s gravitational pull starting near Earth's orbit, enabling an object to leave the Solar System.
Escape velocity
The minimum speed needed for an object to break free from a celestial body's gravitational attraction without further propulsion.
