VelocityCircular = 24,431 ft/sec Calculate the orbital velocity of a satellite in a 500 mi. high circular Orbit. First – convert the altitude to feet: Orbital Altitude = 500 mi * 5,280 ft/mi = 2,640,000 ft Next – calculate height above the center of the earth: Orbital Radius = 2,640,000 ft + 20,900,000 ft = 23,540,000 ft Finally – calculate the orbital velocity: U 14.05 x 1015 ft3/sec2 VelocityCircular = ----------------- = --------------------------------- Orbit Radius 23,540,000 ft VelocityCircular = 24,431 ft/sec

Calculate the perigee and apogee velocities for a satellite in an orbit having a perigee of 100 mi and an apogee of 1000 mi. Calculate the spacecraft velocity and perigee and apogee for an elliptical orbit that has an perigee of 100 miles and an apogee of 1,000 miles. First, calculate the apogee and perigee in feet – Perigee (ft) = 100 mi * 5,280 ft/mi = 528,000 ft Apogee (ft) = 1,000 mi * 5,280 ft/mi = 5,280,000 ft Next, calculate the apogee and perigee above the center of the earth – Perigee (ft) = 20,900,000 ft + 528,000 ft = 21,428,000 ft Apogee (ft) = 20,900,000 ft + 5,280,000 ft = 26,180,000 ft

Calculate the orbital energy of an elliptical orbit that has a perigee of 700 mi and an apogee of 2,000 mi. First – convert the altitudes to feet: Perigee Altitude = 700 mi * 5,280 ft/mi = 3,696,000 ft Apogee Altitude = 2,000 mi * 5,280 ft/mi = 10,560,000 ft Next – calculate the heights above the center of the earth: Perigee Radius = 3,696,000 ft + 20,900,000 ft = 24,596,000 ft Apogee Radius = 10,560,000 ft + 20,900,000 ft = 31,460,000 ft Next – calculate the major axis (2a) of the ellipse: 2a = 24,596,000 ft + 31,460,000 ft = 56,056,000 ft Finally – Calculate the energy (E): 14.05 x 1015 ft3/sec2 E = - ----------------------------- = - 250,642,215 ft2/sec2 56,056,000 ft
