Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A satellite needs to transfer from a low Earth orbit to a geostationary orbit. Calculate the required change in velocity if the low Earth orbit is 300 km above the Earth's surface and the geostationary orbit is 36,000 km above the surface.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember to apply the escape velocity formula and differences in kinetic energy.

Question 2

Design a fuel-efficient plan for a mission to place a satellite into a polar orbit. Discuss the key factors that need to be considered.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Reflect on the orbital dynamics and the physics behind satellite placement.
