1) Thinking about the Scale of the Solar System As we discuss in class, the radius of the Earth is approximately 6370 km. The Sun, on the other hand, is approximately 700,000 km in radius and located, on average, one astronomical unit (1 au=1.5x108 km) from the Earth. Imagine that you stand near Mansueto Library, at the corner of 57th and Ellis. You hold a standard desk globe, which has a diameter of 12 inches, and you want to build a model of the Sun, Earth, and their separation that keeps all sizes and lengths in proportion to one another. a) How big would the Sun be in this scale model? Give your answer in feet and meters.

Question 1 (Total: 30 points) a. What is a repeat ground-track orbit? b. Explain why repeat ground-track and Sun-synchronous orbits are typically used for Earth observation missions. c. The constraint for a Sun-synchronous and repeat ground-track orbit is given by T = 286, 400, where I is the orbital period in seconds, m the number of days and k the number of revolutions. Explain why this is, in fact, a constraint on the semi-major axis of the orbit.
QUESTION 1 Estimate The Temperature For A Planet In Other Solar System (Questions 1-3) Let us assume scientists just discovered a planet orbiting a star in an extra-solar system. The star has a surface temperature Ts = 10000 Kelvins and a radius Sr = 1x109 meters. Scientists also measured the distance (D) between the star and the planet as D = 2 AU - 3.0x1011 meters. The solar power per unit area from the star's surface (Ps) can be calculated from the star's surface temperature Ts (10000 Kelvins) by the Stefen-Boltzman law Ps=0(Ts)4, where o is Stefen-Boltzman constant (5.67 x 10-8 Watt/meter2/Kelvin4). What is the solar power per unit area from the star's surface (Ps)? O Ps ~ 2.87 x 108 Watt/meter2 O Ps ~ 5.67 x 108 Watt/meter2 O O Ps ~ 2.87 x 10 Watt/meter2 Watt/meter² Ps ~ 5.67 x 10⁹ QUESTION 2 The solar power (Ps) decreases from the star's surface to the distance at the planet. Assuming the solar power per unit area at the distance of the planet as Pp, we have Pp=Ps(Sr/D)2, where…
1- MODIS is an Earth Observation sensor onboard TERRA spacecraft flying in a near-polar circular orbit with an orbital period of 98.8 minutes. The width of the swath imaged by MODIS is 2330 km. A- How many orbits does TERRA trace in one day? B- Assuming that the Earth rotates around its polar axis at a rate of 0.2618 rd/hr and that the equatorial radius is 6378 km, do two consecutive swaths of MODIS overlap at the equator? (hint: the length of an arc = angle in rd * radius) C- The radius of the latitude circle at 35 deg is 5224.5 km. Do two consecutive swaths of MODIS overlap at latitude 35 deg? 2- An aerostationary orbit for Mars is equivalent to a geostationary orbit for Earth. It is designed to enable a satellite in that orbit to image always the same surface of Mars. Calculate the altitude of an aerostationary orbit assuming that Mars is spherical, that its sidereal rotational period is 1.02595676 Earth days, its equatorial radius is 3389.50 km and its mass is…
