- The orbital speed of a satellite will depend on the strength of gravitational field at the orbital radius. Consider the following situations. Which identical satellite will be travelling faster in each case? Why? a- Satellite A orbits the Earth at twice the orbital radius of Satellite B. b- Satellite A orbits the Sun at the same orbital radius that Satellite B orbits the Earth.(4. We are planning a human exploration mission to Mars. We will first place our spacecraft into a circular around Mars and then send down a lander. a) If we want the spacecraft to orbit at an altitude of 170 km above the Martian surface, what will the velocity and orbital period of the spacecraft? b) When we land astronauts on the surface of Mars, what acceleration due to gravity in terms of g's (i.e. as a fraction of the Earth's gravitational acceleration) will the astronauts experience?
