Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 38P
If the temperature in the atmosphere is assumed to vary linearly with altitude so T = To − αz where To is the sea level temperature and α = −dT/dz is the temperature lapse rate, find p(z) when air is taken to be a perfect gas. Give the answer in terms of po, α, g, R and z only.

(b): Let us first consider controlling the orbit of deputy spacecraft to rendezvous with chief spacecraft.
Define x = [r] and x = x = R to represent the deputy orbital state and its target (= chief
orbit) in Cartesian coordinates, respectively. The control input is thruster acceleration, u € R³, in the
ECI frame. Denote the relative state by dx = x-x. Table 2 summarize the initial orbital elements.
