The computer decided where Earth would be when we'd had time to get there, and told me how to match trajectories so we'd hit Earth orbit.

My commander nods, flicking her gaze across my data screens, watching as the two transports fire thrusters to match velocities and trajectories, making the ship-to-ship transfer possible.

You approached the dirigible by means of a small propeller-driven aircraft that drifted up to match trajectories and docked alongside.

They were still so engaged when the warning signal sounded and a voice from the control room sang, out, "Strap down for acceleration) Prepare to match trajectories!"

We'd match trajectories and bring them aboard and that would be our last physical contact with Earth.

It was the standard means by which an incoming ship and an orbiting ship matched trajectories, whether to rendezvous or to engage in close combat.

Using tiny bursts of her maneuvering jets, Zhett aligned her ship with the lifetube, matching orbital trajectories so the two vessels were motionless relative to each other.

Not if we want to match trajectories.

It took the two starships eleven minutes to match trajectories with the Tantu's jump coordinate.

If they had figured correctly, the energy would manifest itself as velocity, and they would have the one-third light-speed velocity they needed to match trajectories with the object.
