1) A chaser vehicle in a circular orbit of radius 8590 km lags 2 degrees behind a target vehicle which is in a coplanar circular orbit of radius 8600 km. a) Compute the relative position and velocity of the chaser in the CW frame. b) Determine the chaser’s relative position and velocity components 30 minutes later. c) Compute the total velocity increment required for a 30 minute, 2-impulse rendezvous maneuver starting from the initial state given in part (a).
