c/10 orthogonal is an orthogonal speed that is equivalent to one tenth of the speed of light.
Spaceships
On March 5, 2016 zdr discovered the first c/10 orthogonal spaceship, copperhead.
On March 20, 2016 Simon Ekström found the fireship with a large spark with the copperhead's front end.[1] Tanner Jacobi noticed that two of them can support a tagalong identical to the back end, allowing to stack them.[2]
A Caterloopillar can theoretically be configured to move at c/10, but there are technical difficulties with speeds of the form 4n+2, and as of the end of 2017 this has not been done in practice.
Puffers
The spaceship found by Simon Ekström enabled Nico Brown to construct a c/10 puffer and a rake on the same day.[3]
Guns
A copperhead gun was completed one day after the discovery of the ship.[4]
