2. The simplest way to increase the size of a circular orbit is method called a Hohmann Transfer (transfers the satellite from a small circular orbit to a larger one). It involves firing thrusters to create a change in velocity to get the satellite into a transfer orbit (elliptical), then later firing the thrusters again for another change in velocity to increase the size of the orbit (back to circular). Diagram: b Avb Transfer Initial Final Ava a Let us say we have the satellite from the previous problem in a circular orbit. We want to increase the altitude of the circular orbit from 418 km to 1000 km. (a) Find the change in velocity necessary to go into the transfer orbit, Ava. (b) Find the change in velocity necessary to go into the final circular orbit, Av. (c) How long will the transfer take?

1. using Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation and some kinematics calculation we can calculate the mass of the planet. For this, use this equation below: ?planet =(9.340×1024)×(vmax)×(Pstar)1/3×(Mstar)2/3 Given: - vmax = 1.5 m/s - Pstar = 3.5 days - Mstar = 1.148 Msun, where Msun = 1.98847×1030 kg. This calculation is not shown.

6. A synchronous orbit is an orbit about a planet's equator that always remains above the same spot of the planet because the synchronous orbit matches the planet's rotational period. The pilot of the Mars spacecraft (which was named Cheetah 1 and had a 9556 kg mass) asked Tarzan to calculate the altitude of a synchronous orbit so they could remain over a particular geological feature on the Martian equator. Calculate the altitude above the Martian equator using the data above and Johannes Kepler's genius.
