| Jun 28, 2012 at 20:51 | comment | added | Jay | @horatio Yes, "the orbit" might be clumsy wording, or it might be completely correct depending on context. If the context described a particular altitude and angle describing a specific orbit, following this by referring to "the orbit" would be perfectly sensible. | |
| Jun 28, 2012 at 20:44 | comment | added | horatio | Note that "orbital insertion" is a well-worn technical term. It does not need to be associated with a launch (one can launch a spacecraft and then later maneuver it into a stable orbit). In addition, there are several (if not many) types of orbits, so "the orbit" may be perfectly correct in context. | |

| Jun 28, 2012 at 18:37 | comment | added | Andrew Leach♦ | "Into the orbit" is not particularly idiomatic (see my answer). Given that and the amount of discussion which has ensued on your previous question I'm beginning to wonder about the quality of the tuition materials you're having to deal with. | |
