Enroute to your rendezvous asteroid, Mission Design has identified an opportunity for a close flyby of a different asteroid. The flyby speed will be 10 km/s and the desire is to continuously point the high-resolution camera, which is aligned with the +Y_sc axis of the spacecraft, at the asteroid starting 1 hour before closest approach and ending 1 hour after closest approach. Given the angular acceleration limit in rad/s^2 is 0.000333. the axis which you would rotate the spacecraft to track the flyby asteroid through closest approach is the x-axis. The closest approach distance (km) selected for the 10 km/s flyby speed to be sure the angular acceleration limit is not exceeded is 510 km. What is the angular rate of the spacecraft (deg/s) at closest approach for the distance that was selected. The correct answer should be 1.12 deg/s
