The space shuttle is in a 150 km -high circular orbit. It needs to reach a 680 km -high circular orbit to catch the Hubble Space Telescope for repairs. The shuttle's mass is 7.00×10^4 kg . How much energy is required to boost it to the new orbit? I keep getting the answer of 7.25e13 J, but this is incorrect.
How do you get this
answer?
Review Part A The space shuttle is in a 350 km -high circular orbit. It needs to reach a 540 km -high circular orbit to catch the Hubble Space Telescope for repairs. The shuttle's mass is 8.00x 104 kg How much energy is required to boost it to the new orbit? Express your answer with the appropriate units. 6.53x 1010 J Previous Answers Answer Requested
The space shuttle is in a 280-mile-high orbit. A)What is the shuttle's orbital speed? B)What is the shuttle's orbital period?
The space shuttle typically travels in a circular orbit at an altitude of 500 km above the Earth's surface. The Earth itself has a radius of about 6400 km. The shuttle can travel in a circular orbit, at constant speed, without any need for the rocket engine to be on, if it travels at just the right speed (a) Given that the value of g is 8.50 m/s2 at an altitude of 500 km, determine the value of the shuttle's...
When the space shuttle coasts in a circular orbit at constant speed about Earth, is it accelerating? If so, in what direction? If not, why not?
Problem 3) The space shuttle is in a circular orbit of 180 km altitude and inclination 30o. What is the change in east longitude (AX) of the ascending node after 1 orbit of the satellite? (answer in radians) Hint: ёл-(w Earth-A)nT for n orbits

The space shuttle releases a satellite into a circular orbit 640 km above the Earth. Part A How fast must the shuttle be moving (relative to Earth) when the release occurs? v = m/s
PROBLEM 12.89 A space shuttle S and a se A are in the circular orbits shown. In order for the shuttle to recover the satellite, the shuttle is first placed in an elliptic path BC by increasing its speed by Av 84 m/s as it passes through B. As the shuttle approaches C, its speed is increased by Δ1C = 78 m/s to insert it into a second elliptic transfer orbit CD. Knowing that the distance from O to C...
7. The space shuttle typically orbits 400000 m above the Earth's surface. How much would a 2000 kg part for the space shuttle weigh when it has been lifted to that orbit in the shuttle's cargo bay?
You are an astronaut in the space shuttle pursuing a satellite in need of repair. You find yourself in a circular orbit of the same radius as the satellite, but 30 km behind it. (a) How long will it take to reach the satellite if you reduce your orbital radius by 1.0 km? (b) By how much must you reduce your orbital radius to catch up in 8.0 hrs? What is the purpose of differentiating in part (a)? I understand...
