[QUOTE="Ramjet, post: 628364, member: 214"] SpaceX Falcon 9 second stage performs fastest powerslide ever. SpaceX underbid the original launch provider to launch the lightest ever single satellite for a Falcon 9 into a zero degree orbit. They launch at about a 53 degree inclination. To get into a Zero degree orbit along the equator the 2nd stage had to turn and light its Merlin engine while flying sideways. Scott explains it better than I can.
