===Astronautics===
[[Astronautics]] is the design and development of spacecraft with an emphasis on spacecraft systems (including launch vehicles, satellites, and their subsystems), the design of ground control systems for spacecraft, and the design of [[orbital mechanics]] for spacecraft missions.


==Rolling stock==
[[Rolling stock]] comprises all the vehicles that move on a railway. It usually includes both powered and unpowered vehicles, for example locomotives, railroad cars, coaches, and wagons.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.yaxham-light-railway.fsnet.co.uk/Rolling_Stock/rolling_stock.html |title=Yaxham Light Railway rolling stock page}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://dictionary.oed.com/cgi/entry/50208215?single=1&query_type=word&queryword=rolling-stock&first=1&max_to_show=10 |title=Definition of "rolling stock" from the Oxford English Dictionary accessed 5 February 2007 (subscription service) }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.askoxford.com/concise_oed/rollingstock?view=uk |title=Definition of "rolling stock" from the Concise Oxford Dictionary}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bartleby.com/61/0/R0290000.html |title=Definition from the American Heritage Dictionary |access-date=2014-02-06 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090222122020/http://www.bartleby.com/61/0/R0290000.html |archive-date=2009-02-22 |url-status=dead }}</ref>⏎
