Follow-up Question

A spacecraft is in a 300 km circular parking orbit. It is desired to increase the altitude to 600 km and change the inclination by 20°. Find the total ΔV required if:

Part A

The plane change is made after insertion into the 600 km orbit (so there is a total of three ΔV burns).
