Rotation or orbital motion in a counterclockwise direction when viewed looking down from above the north pole of the primary (i.e. in the same sense to most satellites); the opposite of retrograde. The north pole is the one on the same side of the ecliptic as the Earth's north pole. The word 'prograde' is sometimes used to mean 'direct' in this sense.
