You are participating in a NASA traineeship, working with a group planning a new landing on Mars. Your supervisor has come up with an idea for putting a synchronous satellite over the landing spot near the Martian equator, so that radio communication between Earth and the lander is improved. She asks you to report to her on the required height above the Martian surface of a synchronous satellite. Note: The rotation period of Mars is 1.026 d. (Enter your answer in m.)
