NASA is sending a remote-sensing spacecraft to Mars.

Given:

Earth parking orbit altitude= 1000 km

Mars Parking orbit altitude= 500 km

μ_Earth = 3.99x10⁵ km³/s²

μ_Mars = 4.280x10⁴ km³/s²

μ_Sun = 1.33x10¹¹ km³/s²

^{Earth's orbital radius = 1.50
x10⁸ km (assume Earth has a circular orbit for this
problem)}

Mars' orbital radius = 2.28 x10⁸ km (assume Mars has a circular orbit for this problem)

1. The parking orbit of an Earth satellite has apogee and perigee altitudes of 850 km and 250 km, respectively (this orbit is sometimes referred to as an 850 km x 250 km orbit). (a) Determine the delta v required to circularize the orbit using a single-impulse burn at perigee. What is the period of the resulting circular orbit? Sketch the two orbits, indicating the point where the impulsive burn occurs. (b) Determine the delta v required to circularize the...

A satellite is launched into an orbit at an altitude 200 km above the surface. Onboard is an exquisitely sensitive atomic clock that is synchronized with an identical clock on Earth. After orbiting for one year, the satellite is captured, returned to Earth, and the clocks compared. What will be the shift in time between the two clocks?

A 425 kg satellite is in a circular orbit at an altitude of 400 km above the Earth's surface. Because of air friction, the satellite eventually falls to the Earth's surface, where it hits the ground with a speed of 2.00 km/s. How much energy was transformed to internal energy by means of friction? J
