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.
