That is correct.

Indeed. Using posigrade term has the benefit of being separate from prograde which in classical orbital mechanics very much is tied in...

Exactly. That is what caused me to begin my search for a term that I did not know to describe a relational motion that I needed...

I found out that the term 'antigrade' can also be used to mean 'retrograde' when speaking in terms of the opposite of posigrade...

Thank you Dave, this maybe not what I was asking, not reversing orbit, but leaving orbit in one or another direction... As per my...

Had to look it up to be sure, but YES, that is the term that fits. It is a shame that retrograde is used for both cases though, so yes...

You probably want the term 'posigrade', but you'd likely need to add some qualifiers to make it clear which orbit you mean. The opposite...

I think maybe I explained my question incorrectly or perhaps the terms that I am looking for simply do not exist in the form that I am...

Sorry. Yes, you are absolutely correct... that example was a Brain-fart on my side. :) In a moment of 'unconcentration', I forgot that a...

🤔 Moon revolves and rotates in the same direction as the Earth's rotation. It just happens that the Earth rotates faster than the Moon...

I am looking for the terms that describe, or rather differentiates the difference between the direction of orbit and the 'anti-orbit'...
