trajectory, the radius is 14 600 km, the
speed is 8.6 km/s, and the flight path angle is 50•.
Show that the path is a hyperbola and calculate the
following: (a) C3, (b) angular momentum, (c) true
anomaly,
(d) eccentricity, (e) radius of perigee, (f) turn angle,
(g) semimajor axis, and (h)
aiming radius.
Transcribed Image Text:Constants:
u = 3.986*10^5 ( Km^3/S^2), if you don't like
exponents, this translates to (398,600 Km^3/S^2)
Radius of Earth = 6378Km
