A satelite of mass m orbits in an elipse a planet of mass M. When the satellite's orbit is closest to the planet, it has a velocity of vmax and a radius from the center of the planet of rmin. Derive an equation for rmax , the the radius from from the satelite to the center of the planet, when the satelite is at its farthest point from the planet. Derivation should be in terms of vmax and rmin. Final equation should not be in terms of vmax
