While describing a circular orbit, 185 mi above the surface of the earth, a space shuttle ejects at point A an inertial upper stage (IUS) carrying a communications satellite to be placed in a geosynchronous orbit (see Prob. 13.87) at an altitude of 22,230 mi above the surface of the earth. Determine (a) the velocity of the IUS relative to the shuttle after its engine has been fired at A,( b) the increase in velocity required at B to place the satellite in its final orbit.Reference to Problem 13.87:
A spacecraft approaching the planet Saturn reaches point A with a velocity vA of magnitude 68.8 × 103 ft/s. It is to be placed in an elliptic orbit about Saturn so that it will be able to periodically examine Tethys, one of Saturn’s moons. Tethys is in a circular orbit of radius 183 × 103 mi about the center of Saturn, traveling at a speed of 37.2 × 103 ft/s. Determine (a) the decrease in speed required by the spacecraft at A to achieve the desired orbit, (b) the speed of the spacecraft when it reaches the orbit of Tethys at B.
A space probe is to be placed in a circular orbit of radius 4o00 km about the planet Mars. As the probe reaches A, the point of its
original trajectory closest to Mars, it is inserted into a first elliptic transfer orbit by reducing its speed. This orbit brings it to Point B with
a much reduced velocity. There the probe is inserted into a second transfer orbit by further reducing its speed. Knowing that the mass
of Mars is 0.1074 times the mass of the earth, that ra= 9004 km and rg= 180 004 km, and that the probe approaches A on a parabolic
trajectory, determine the time needed for the space probe to travel from A to Bon its first transfer orbit.
