A space shuttle is describing a circular orbit at an altitude of d= 570 km above the surface of the earth. As it passes through Point A, it fires its engine for a short interval of time to reduce its speed by 208 m/s and begin its descent toward the earth. Determine the angle AOB so that the altitude of the shuttle at Point B is 128 km. R = 6370 km The angle AOB is
