- When large communications satellites are positioned in geosynchronous orbit (GEO), they are first launched into low-Earth orbit (LEO) while mated to a transfer stage. A transfer stage is a rocket specifically designed to move (or transfer) satellites from LEO to GEO. Compare the amount of energy it requires to transfer a 8,000 kg satellite from a 750 km altitude orbit to GEO with the amount of energy required to send a 8,000 kg spacecraft from the same LEO orbit to the Moon so that it can land on the surface of the Moon. Note that the Lunar spacecraft will need the same orbital speed as that of the Moon around the Earth so that the Moon doesn’t move away from the spacecraft before it has a chance to land.arrow_forwardThe incoming solar energy for the planet is 245 W/m2.
