User talk:Priit

Welcome!

Hello, Priit, Welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope you like working here and want to continue. If you need help on how to name new articles, look at Naming Conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the Manual of Style. If you need general help, look at Help and the FAQ, and if you can't find your answer there, check the Village pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions). There's still more help at the Tutorial and the Policy Library. Also, don't forget to visit the Community Portal — and if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my New-Users' Talk Page.

Additional tips:

Attitude

"attitude", in the context of the Project Mercury article, is best described in aircraft attitude; it's basically the physical orientation of the spacecraft, covering rotation and the like. Attitude thrusters are small thrusters to roll, pitch or yaw a spacecraft - you may have seen them called RCS, "reaction control systems". In a vacuum, you see, you can't control the spacecraft with airflow, so you have to use some form of thruster to change positions.
