A long-range ballistic trajectory between points A and B on the earth’s surface consists of a portion of an ellipse with the apogee at point C. Knowing that point C is 1500 km above the surface of the earth and the range Rφ of the trajectory is 6000 km, determine (a) the velocity of the projectile at C, (b) the eccentricity ε of the trajectory.
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:
In 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. A space vehicle is in a circular…

- A space probe is to be placed in a circular orbit of radius 4o00 km about the planet Mars. As the probe reaches A, the point of its original trajectory closest to Mars, it is inserted into a first elliptic transfer orbit by reducing its speed.
