The Explorer VIII satellite, placed into orbit November 3, 1960, to investigate the ionosphere, had the following orbit parameters: perigee, 459 km; apogee, 2 289 km (both distances above the Earth’s surface); period, 112.7 min. Findthe ratio υp /υa of the speed at perigee to that at apogee.
A spacecraft reaches the SOI of a planet with V = 500 m/s, ø = -65°. Use rsoj = Obtain m³/s?. 5.781 × 108 m, m, Hplanet = 4.297e13 Tplanet = 3.393 × 106 b, d, E using (r.co = 0), H, e, a, rperiapsis, hperiapsis of the orbit. Place your answers in a table.
Designing an interplanetary mission from Earth to Jupiter. Given the position and velocityvectors for the Earth parking orbit, r = 8228 I +389 J +6888 K (km)v = -0.7 I +6.6 J -0.6 K (km/s) 1.) Assuming that the satellite will enter the Hohmann transfer elliptical orbit from perigee of its current Earth parking orbit, determine the total velocity increment, Δvtotal required for a Hohmann transfer from the Earthparking orbit to 200km altitude Jupiter parking orbit. 2.) Calculate the semi-major axis, period in earth years, and eccentricity of the Hohmann transfer ellipse.
