A space shuttle is describing a circular orbit at an altitude of d= 570 km above the surface of the earth. As it passes through Point A, it fires its engine for a short interval of time to reduce its speed by 208 m/s and begin its descent toward the earth. Determine the angle AOB so that the altitude of the shuttle at Point B is 128 km. R = 6370 km The angle AOB is

A spacecraft traveling along a parabolic path toward the planet Jupiter is expected to reach point vA of magnitude 26.9 km/s. Its engines will then be fired to slow it down, placing it into an elliptic orbit which will bring it to within 100 × 103 km of Jupiter. Determine the decrease in speed ? v at point A which will place the spacecraft into the required orbit. The mass of Jupiter is 319 times the mass of the earth.
The rocket is traveling in a free flight along an elliptical trajectory A′A and the rocket has the orbit shown. Suppose that r = 6 Mm , ra = 110 Mm , and rp = 50 Mm .

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.
