- A space probe is to be placed in a circular orbit of 5600-mi radius about the planet Venus in a specified plane. As the probe reaches A, the point of its original trajectory closest to Venus, it is inserted in a first elliptic transfer orbit by reducing its speed by ΔvA. This orbit brings it to point B with a much reduced velocity. There the probe is inserted in a second transfer orbit located in the specified plane by changing the direction of its velocity and further reducing its speed by ΔvB. Finally, as the probe reaches point C, it is inserted in the desired circular orbit by reducing its speed by ΔvC. Knowing that the mass of Venus is 0.82 times the mass of the earth, that rA = 9.3 × 103 mi and rB = 190 × 103 mi, and that the probe approaches A on a parabolic trajectory, determine by how much the velocity of the probe should be reduced (a) at A, (b) at B, (c) at C.arrow_forward13.
