A satellite is to be placed in a circular orbit 10 km above the surface of the moon (Rm = 1.74 * 10^3 km, Mm = 7.35*10^22 kg). 1. What is the orbital speed and period of the satellite? 2. If we could place a satellite in orbit just inches from the Earth's surface, what would its orbital velocity and period be? (Re = 6.37 * 10^3 km and Me = 5.972 * 10^24 kg)

Consider a 455 kg satellite in a circular orbit at a distance of 3.02 x 104 km above the Earth's surface. What is the minimum amount of work W the satellite's thrusters must do to raise the satellite to a geosynchronous orbit? Geosynchronous orbits occur at approximately 3.60 x 104 km above the Earth's surface. The radius of the Earth and the mass of the Earth are Re = 6.37 % 10% km and Me = 5.97 x 1024 kg,...
