find the mass of Planet X. b) Suppose that at the moment the spacecraft reaches its maximum height, a rocket thruster briefly turns on to give the spacecraft a tangential velocity so that it can move in a circular orbit around Planet X. What tangential velocity would the spacecraft need in order to move in a circular orbit at an altitude of 4.80km above Planet X's surface?
