We had coordinates relative to the Sun, and velocity components, but all they did was make sure we could find our way to the planet.
A quick instrument check showed that the space wheel was not damaged, but had indeed picked up a new velocity component from the impact.
Its tangential velocity component may take it clear of Jupiter.
This is the velocity component of the star's equatorial rotation along the line of sight to the Earth.
That is, only one of the three velocity components is non-trivial.
One sees that, as the turbulence decays, the velocity components become less correlated.
It is often assumed that the axial velocity component remains constant through the stage.
So, air resistance will have an effect on the motion of a projectile if it changes either or both of the velocity components.
The velocity component is measured along the line connecting the sampling volume to the receiver.
Evidences included by high levels of noise and spikes in all velocity components.
