3. A measurement taken from the UW Jacobson Observatory (Latitude: 47.660503°,Longitude: -122.309424°, Altitude: 220.00 feet) when its local sidereal time is 120.00°makes the following observations of a space object (Based on Curtis Problems 5.12 +5.13):Azimuth: 225.00°Azimuth rate: 2.0000°/s.Elevation: 75.000°Elevation rate: -0.5000°/sRange: 1500.0 kmRange rate: -1.0000 km/sa. What are the r & v vectors (the state vector) in geocentric coordinates?(Answerr = [-2503.47v = [17.2984885.25.9205577.6]-2.663])b. Calculate the orbital elements of the satellite. (For your thoughts: what type ofobject would this be?)(Partial Answer e = 5.5876, 0=-13.74°)Tip: use Curtis algorithms 5.4 and 4.2.

Sam is an astronomer on planet Hua, which orbits the distant star Barnard. It has recently been accepted that Hua is spherical in shape, although its exact size is unknown. While studying in the library, in the city of Joy, Sam learns that during equinox, Barnard is directly overhead in the city of Bar, located 1500.0 km north of his location. On the equinox, Sam goes outside and measures the altitude of Barnard at 83 degrees. What is the radius of Hua in km?
