Question 1 (Total: 30 points)
a. What is a repeat ground-track orbit?
b. Explain why repeat ground-track and Sun-synchronous orbits are typically used for Earth observation missions.
c. The constraint for a Sun-synchronous and repeat ground-track orbit is given by T = 286, 400, where I is the orbital period in seconds, m the number of days and k
the number of revolutions. Explain why this is, in fact, a constraint on the semi-major axis of the orbit.
