Related to synodic period

I think Wiktionary is missing the sense of the word use in orbital mechanics for particular instances of a focal point in a synodic period. For example, have seen it used in technical literature describing particular synodes for particular orbital trajectories from Earth to Mars.

I'll have to try to find some sourced instances, and bring the info back here to document them. Cheers. N2e (talk) 18:18, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
