Problem 2 The following figure shows two satellites in Earth orbits: Satellite A is in a circular orbit with an altitude of 9,622 km, while Satellite B is in an elliptical orbit with an apogee altitude of 9,622 km. At the instant shown in Figure P2, Satellite B is passing through the apogee while Satellite A is ahead of Satellite B with an angular separation of 120 deg. Determine the perigee altitude of the elliptical orbit so that Satellites A and B occupy the same radial position when Satellite A firstly arrives the apogee point (in other words, Satellites A and B perform a rendezvous maneuver at apogee of satellite B).

The following figure shows two satellites in Earth orbits: Satellite A is in a circular
orbit with an altitude of 9,622 km, while Satellite B is in an elliptical orbit with an apogee altitude of
9,622 km. At the instant shown in Figure P2, Satellite B is passing through the apogee while Satellite A is
ahead of Satellite B with an angular separation of 120 deg. Determine the perigee altitude of the elliptical
orbit so that Satellites A and B occupy the same radial position when Satellite A firstly arrives the apogee
point (in other words, Satellites A and B perform a rendezvous maneuver at apogee of satellite B).
