- Assume you are the lead Physicist at SpaceX and you are asked to calculate the gravitational force that will be acting on a new satellite they plan to launch into space to orbit Mars. Calculate the force between Mars, which has a mass of 6.39*1023 kg, and the satellite, which has a mass of 420 kilograms. Assume that NASA wants the satellite to orbit Mars at a distance of 20,775 meters.
