A satellite placed in a circular orbit at a radius of 1.5 earth radii (z ~ 3,185 km) has an orbital period of 155 minutes. What is the maximum interval the satellite could maintain a communication link with a ground station? Assume the satellite passes directly overhead the station, but must be at least 15° above the horizon to establish and maintain the communication link. Report your answer in minutes using three significant digits (e.g. 123). What is the maximum communication interval in minutes?
#1 Orbital DynamicsSuppose a satellite is in orbit about the Earth at a height of 2500 km above the surface of the Earth. If the radius of the Earth is 6370 km, what is the radius of the satellite’s orbit? Recall that r = RE + H. In #1, what is the period of the satellite’s orbit in hours? It may be helpful to remember that G = 6.67 × 10−11 kg−1m3s−2, while ME = 5.96 × 1024 kg. In addition recall that the formula for the orbital period is: ⃝ A. 2.31 hours ⃝ B. 3.59 hours ⃝ C. 5.12 hours ⃝ D. 8.27 hours ? r3T=2π GM (1)
