The following information will aid you in your calculations:

                  Mass of Earth: 5.97 x 1024 kg               Mass of Moon: 7.35 x 1022 kg

                  Mass of Sun: 1.99 x 1030 kg               Earth-Moon Distance: 3.84 x 105 km

                  Earth-Sun Distance: 1.496 x 108 km

a) Calculate the altitude necessary for a satellite to be in a geostationary (geosynchronous) orbit about the Moon. You may need to look up the term geostationary or geosynchronous and some additional information before you can answer the question.

b) Calculate the average speed of the Moon in orbit around the Earth.

c) Calculate the escape velocity for an object being shot from the surface of the Moon.
