The Cassini spacecraft was a mission to Saturn which observed Saturn and several of Saturn's moons. Assume Cassini is in a circular orbit around Saturn. NASA wants to enlarge Cassini's orbit so that it will pass by one of Saturn's moons that is on an orbit farther away from Saturn. To do this, they will need to fire the thrusters... on the front, slowing it down below circular velocity. It will enter a larger, elliptical orbit. on the back, speeding it up to faster than circular velocity. It will enter a larger, circular orbit. on the back, speeding it up to faster than circular velocity. It will enter a larger, elliptical orbit. on the front, slowing it down below circular velocity. It will enter a smaller elliptical, orbit. on the back, speeding it up to faster than escape velocity. It will enter a larger, elliptical orbit. on the front, slowing it down to escape velocity. It will enter a larger, elliptical orbit.
