A)At what altitude would a geostationary sattelite need to be above the surface of Mars? Assume the mass of Mars is 6.39 x 1023 kg, the length of a martian solar day is 24 hours 39minutes 35seconds, the length of the sidereal day is 24hours 37minutes 22seconds, and the equatorial radius is 3396 km. The answer can be calculated using Newton's verison of Kepler's third law.
How will you determine the distance of Mars from Earth?
Eccentricity for Mars is 094 and semi major axis "a" is 227,9 10" Km; Calculate the perihelion and aphelion distances.
