Future spacecraft (like the HSL HuskySat-3) will orbit the moon on the NASA LunarGateway with a periapsis of 1900km and a period of 6.666 days. Find:a. The semimajor axis a (km) of the orbit.b. The eccentricity e or the orbit.c. The apoapsis of the orbit.d. A spacecraft is released (assume it has the same orbital speed as the gateway, itis released with 0 Av) from the Gateway at a true anomaly of 0=300°. The nextburn must take place at periapsis. How long after release does the burn occur?Show your values for the eccentric anomaly, mean anomaly, and mean angularrate.

8.11 Estimate the total delta-v requirement for a Hohmann transfer from earth to Mercury, assuming a 150-km-altitude circular parking orbit at earth and a 150-km circular capture orbit at Mercury. Furthermore, assume that the planets have coplanar circular orbits with radii equal to the semimajor axes listed in Table A.1. {Ans.: 13.08 km/s}
Consider a GTO orbit (see Wikipedia article on GTO) with the perigee just outside the Earth's atmosphere at an altitude of 622km and apogee near the GEO orbit at an altitude of 35,786km. Assume that the Earth's radius is RE = 6378km. All orbits around a single large body are elliptical (it is called a two-body problem and you will learn about it in orbital mechanics). Furthermore, the center of the large body is at one of the foci of the ellipse. The semi-major axis can be calculated by averaging the distance of the perigee and apogee from the center of the Earth. What is the semi-minor axis (in km)? 2b 2c 2a
NOTE: Wherever applicable, you may use = 398600 km³s-² and R = 6378 km. Problem 1 A spacecraft in a prograde Earth orbit passed periapsis exactly 28.5 hours ago with a specific angular momentum of 81574.30 km²s 2. The spacecraft will reach apoapsis in exactly 7.5 hours. a. Compute the eccentricity, e.
The new position is r = 6867.3(xhat) + 398.8(yhat). The answer to the first problem would be theta = arctan(398.8/6867.3) = 0.058 degrees. But how do you know how much the line of nodes, which is the new position as show in the diagram, should have rotated for a true sun-synchronoous orbit? What is the formula? What are some reasons why there would be any discrepancy between the estimated angle and the actual angle?
M XCM M A binary system is shown by the image above. It consists of two stars of equal mass. These stars revolve in a circular orbit about thgeir center of mass, which is midway between them. If the orbital speed of each star is 2,280 km/s and the orbital period of each is 11.7 days. Find the mass M of each star.
You are interested in how long it takes for the ISS to naturally deorbit. Compute in the analytic approximation of the change in orbital elements per revolution and compare to the single-step approximation formula for the lifetime. I have attached an image of a formula for the change in semi-major axis per revolution and the formula to calculate the lifetime of a satellite. I want to know what H is and its value? Also, how do you compare the two because one is the change in semi-major axis and the other is lifetime?
During lecture we discussed that an elliptical orbit is not necessarily helpful to escapeEarth, and we said we would not investigate that further (but you are welcome on yourown).However, it is useful to investigate the radius of the “best” (ie, lowest Δv) circular parkingorbit. For this problem consider the following “steps” to Escape Earth:1. A Hohmann transfer from the surface to the parking orbit (i.e., 2 Δv’s).Assumptions:a. launch exactly from the equator with zero velocity relative to thegroundb. there is no atmosphere, mountains, obstacles, etc - the Δv canhappen in the tangential direction from the groundc. Simplify for now and use the Earth rotation = 1 revolution in 24hours2. A Δv from the parking orbit to escape Earth3. The target velocity is exactly vesc (i.e., there is no v∞ for a specificdestination, we just want to escape Earth)For all Δv’s you can ignore the direction, only consider magnitude.a. Develop an equation (or function in Matlab or a spreadsheet) which takes…

A satellite is to travel from the Earth to Mars using a Hohmann transfer. 1. Calculate the semi-major axis of the transfer orbit. Using the Vis-Viva equation compute the heliocentric velocity of the satellite as it reaches Mars. 2. The spacecraft is adjusted so that it will pass within $300$ $km$ of the surface of Mars just behind of it in its orbit. Calculate the eccentricity of the hyperbolic passage and hence the half turn angle $\delta$. **[20 points]** 3. The approach of the spacecraft is on the sunward side of Mars. Compute the heliocentric velocity of the spacecraft when it exits Mars' sphere of influence. 4. A Hohmann transfer requires a long transfer time. Propose a method to reduce the transfer time to reach Mars and outline the procedure that you would use to compute the radial and transverse velocity at Mars arrival.
