Helpful?           0
Refers to the sub-satellite point of a pass where the satellite crosses the equator from the Southern Hemisphere into the Northern Hemisphere.

In an orbit, the place where a body crosses the plane of another orbit (usually, the Earth's orbit), heading north.

North Node. See Nodes.
Helpful?           0
The northbound equatorial crossing of a polar-orbiting satellite, given in degrees longitude, date, and coordinated universal time (UTC) for any given orbit or pass; the point at which a satellite crosses the equatorial plane, heading north.
Helpful?           0
Direction that a satellite is travelling relative to the Equator. An ascending node would imply a northbound Equatorial crossing.
Helpful?           0
The point in the orbit of the Moon where it passes from below the ecliptic plane to above (see node).
Helpful?           0
The point on the ground track of a satellite orbit where the sub-satellite point(SSP) crosses the equator from the Southern Hemisphere into the Northern Hemisphere.
Helpful?           0
