| eccentricity |
The eccentricity of an orbit is a measure of its departure from a circle. Elliptical orbits have an eccentricity >0 and <1, parabolic paths have an eccentricity =1, and hyperbolic paths have an eccentricity >1.

| eccentricity |
The ratio of the distance from the center of an ellipse to its focus to the semimajor axis. e = (1-b2/a2) -1/2 where a and b are the semimajor and semiminor axes of the ellipse.

The eccentricity is the measure for the deviation of the tube axis of the outside diameter from that of the inner diameter. Eccentricity results from the wall thickness deviation.

| eccentricity |
The orbital parameter used to describe the geometric shape of an elliptical orbit; eccentricity values vary from e = 0 to e = 1; where e = 0 describes a perfect circle and e = 1 describes a straight line. The amount a spacecraft deviates from a circular orbit.
