While describing a circular orbit, 185 mi above the surface of the earth, a space shuttle ejects at point A an inertial upper stage (IUS) carrying a communications satellite to be placed in a geosynchronous orbit (see Prob. 13.87) at an altitude of 22,230 mi above the surface of the earth. Determine (a) the velocity of the IUS relative to the shuttle after its engine has been fired at A,( b) the increase in velocity required at B to place the satellite in its final orbit.Reference to Problem 13.87:
A space vehicle is in a circular orbit of 2200-km radius around the moon. To transfer it to a smaller circular orbit of 2080-km radius, the vehicle is first placed on an elliptic path AB by reducing its speed by 26.3 m/s as it passes through A . Knowing that the mass of the moon is 73.49 × 1021 kg, determine (a) the speed of the vehicle as it approaches B on the elliptic path, (b) the amount by which its speed should be reduced as it approaches B to insert it into the smaller circular orbit.
A space probe is to be placed in a circular orbit of 5600-mi radius about the planet Venus in a specified plane. As the probe reaches A, the point of its original trajectory closest to Venus, it is inserted in a first elliptic transfer orbit by reducing its speed by ΔvA. This orbit brings it to point B with a much reduced velocity. There the probe is inserted in a second transfer orbit located in the specified plane by changing the direction of its velocity and further reducing its speed by ΔvB. Finally, as the probe reaches point C, it is inserted in the desired circular orbit by reducing its speed by ΔvC. Knowing that the mass of Venus is 0.82 times the mass of the earth, that rA = 9.3 × 103 mi and rB = 190 × 103 mi, and that the probe approaches A on a parabolic trajectory, determine by how much the velocity of the probe should be reduced (a) at A, (b) at B, (c) at C.

- A spacecraft approaching the planet Saturn reaches point A with a velocity vA of magnitude 68.8 × 103 ft/s. It is to be placed in an elliptic orbit about Saturn so that it will be able to periodically examine Tethys, one of Saturn’s moons. Tethys is in a circular orbit of radius 183 × 103 mi about the center of Saturn, traveling at a speed of 37.2 × 103 ft/s.

- determine (a) the speed of the vehich as it approaches B on the elliptic path, (b) the amount by which its speed should be reduced as it approaches B to insert it into the smaller circular orbit.arrow_forwardIn Prob. 13.109, a space vehicle was in a circular orbit at an altitude of 225 mi above the surface of the earth. To return to earth it decreased its speed as it passed through A by firing its engine for a short interval of time in a direction opposite to the direction of its motion. Its resulting velocity as it reached point B at an altitude of 40 mi formed an angle fB = 60° with the vertical. An alternative strategy for taking the space vehicle out of its circular orbit would be to turn it around so that its engine pointed away from the earth and then give it an incremental velocity DvA toward the center O of the earth. This would likely require a smaller expenditure of energy when firing the engine at A, but might result in too fast a descent at B. Assuming that this strategy is used, use computational software to determine the values of fB and vB for an energy expenditure ranging from 5 to 100 percent of that needed in Prob. 13.109. 13.109.
