Question

can someone solve step by step

Consider an orbital transfer from a 1000 km altitude circular Earth orbit (LEO) to a
384400 km altitude circular Earth orbit (trivia: where is it going?) using:
- A direct Hohmann transfer
- A bi-elliptical transfer
a. Draw a schematic of the 2 transfers, including the direction and approximate
relative magnitude of the different Av's.
b. Calculate the total Av & time for the Hohmann transfer.
[Answer: 3.763 km/s, 5.130 days]
c. Calculate the total Av & time for the bi-elliptical transfer with first orbit eccentricity
e=0.9750.
[Answer: 3.685 km/s, 28.87 days]
