Textbook Question
Chapter 7, Problem 13EAP
Does it Make Sense?
Decide whether the statement makes sense (or is clearly true) or does not make sense (or is clearly false). Explain clearly; not all of these have definitive answers, so your explanation is more important than your chosen answer.
13. Uranus orbits the Sun in a direction opposite that of all the other planets.

What’s the answer the the three questions
Question 1 (Total: 30 points)
a. What is a repeat ground-track orbit?
b. Explain why repeat ground-track and Sun-synchronous orbits are typically used for Earth observation missions.
c. The constraint for a Sun-synchronous and repeat ground-track orbit is given by T = 286, 400, where I is the orbital period in seconds, m the number of days and k
the number of revolutions. Explain why this is, in fact, a constraint on the semi-major axis of the orbit.
