OCR: TRAJECTORY .............................................. A TRAJECTORY IS the path that an object takes through space or through the atmosphere of a planet. A trajectory is sometimes expressed as an angle that a path makes relative to a specific plane - for example, the angle of trajectory of a rocket relative to the vertical during take-off. The term trajectory is generally used to describe the path of a rocket or spacecraft.
