The moon Phobos orbits around Mars with a semi-major axis of 9376 km, and an orbital period of 7.65 hours. If NASA wanted to put a satellite in a circular orbit around Mars with an orbital period of 50.0 hours, what should the radius of the orbit be, in km?
6. A synchronous orbit is an orbit about a planet's equator that always remains above the same spot of the planet because the synchronous orbit matches the planet's rotational period. The pilot of the Mars spacecraft (which was named Cheetah 1 and had a 9556 kg mass) asked Tarzan to calculate the altitude of a synchronous orbit so they could remain over a particular geological feature on the Martian equator. Calculate the altitude above the Martian equator using the data above and Johannes Kepler's genius.
Suppose you are in a circular orbit above the moon Rhea with a radius of 824.7 km, and you have 154.4 m/s of delta V. Suppose you put all your delta V to go into an elliptical orbit, what is the semi-major axis of this elliptical orbit assuming the mass of Rhea is 2.3065 ×1021 kg and you can ignore the gravitational effects of Saturn?
