When we estimate distances from velocity date, it is sometimes necessary to use times to, ti, t2, ... that are not equally spaced. We can still estimate distances using the time periods At, = t; – t;-1. For example, on May 7, 1992, the space shuttle Endeavour was launched on mission STS-49, the purpose of which was to install a new perigee kick motor in an Intelsat communication satellite. The table, proved by NASA, gives the velocity data for the shuttle between liftoff and the jettisoning of the solid rock boosters. Use these data to estimate the height above the earth's surface of the Endeavour, 62 seconds after liftoff.
