The rocket's rest length is 734 m. An observer flying by measured the rocket to be 858 m long.
A rocket flying by the Sun at 0.87c measured the speed of the photons (particles of light) emitted by the Sun to be 0.72c.
An inertial reference frame had an acceleration of 9.8 m/s2.
The proper time interval between two events was measured to be 257 s. The time interval between the same two events (as measured by an observer not in the proper frame) was 228 s.
