Orbits: A Brief Historical Look
25
Earth, the Moon, Mars, and the Stars Beyond A Brief Discussion on Mission Design
26
Questions: How fast can you throw a snowball? - A baseball? - A shot put? - A Subway sandwich out a moving car? Could you throw any of these in to an orbit? - How fast would it have to be going?
27
Universal Gravitation, Applied: What is an orbit?
28
Questions: Let’s figure it out… v is velocity G is Universal Gravitational Constant M is mass of planet or satellite R is radius of planet of satellite
29
Universal Gravitation, Applied: When in space why do you float? i.e. Weightlessness
30
Orbit History: 1665 A.D. Isaac Newton At 23, plague while at Cambridge Went to be one with nature He studied gravity Discovered “Newton’s Laws of Motion” 1666, he understood planetary motion Did zip for 20 years until Edmund Halley
31
Newton’s Laws: 1st Law..... Body at rest stays at rest, a body in motion stay in motion 2nd Law.... F = m * a 3rd Law... For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
32
Newton’s Laws: Newton Continued... 1687, Principia Published Law of Universal Gravitation (Attraction)

38
Orbits: A Brief Historical Look Arthur C. Clarke Discovered This Orbit
39
Ancient Orbit History: “ORBIT” from Latin word “orbita” orbitus = circular; orbis = orb 1800 B.C. Stonehenge - Study of the vernal equinox
40
1500 B.C.: Egyptians and Babylonians Written evidence of stellar observations Solar Calendar of 365 days Time divided into 60 even units
41
Aristotle Said earth is center of the universe Dominated scientific thought for 1800 years 350 B.C.: Greek Thoughts
42
Start of the Heliocentric Model: 1543 A.D. Nicholas Copernicus Said Sun-centered rotations Measurements crude but thinking shifts Didn’t release findings until the end of his life
43
Orbit History : 1580 A.D. Tycho Brahe Accurate measurements of planets (Mars) as a function of time Even though telescope had not been invented
44
Orbit History : 1610 A.D. Galileo Galilei Good friends with Copernicus Observations with TELESCOPE reinforced Discovered Venus has phases
45
Orbit History: 1600 A.D. Johannes Kepler Used Tycho’s careful Mars observations to smash Aristotle theories Presented 3 laws of planetary motion Basis of understanding of spacecraft motion However, “Why was not understood” Calculus?
46
45 One Minute Report… - Gottfried Leibniz Isaac Newton
47
Orbit History: Kepler’s 3 Laws of Planetary Motion: 1.All planets move in elliptical orbits, sun at one focus
48
Orbit History: Kepler’s 3 Laws of Planetary Motion: 1.All planets move in elliptical orbits, sun at one focus
49
Orbit History: Kepler’s 3 Laws of Planetary Motion: 2.A line joining any planet to the sun, sweeps out equal areas in equal times
50
Orbit History: Kepler’s 3 Laws of Planetary Motion: 2.A line joining any planet to the sun, sweeps out equal areas in equal times
51
Orbit History: Kepler’s 3 Laws of Planetary Motion: 3.The square of the period of any planet about the sun is proportional to the cube of the of the planet’s mean distance from the sun. If you can observe the period of rotation, you can determine the distance PlanetP (yr)a (AU)T2T2 R3R3 Mercury0.240.390.06 Venus0.620.720.390.37 Earth1.00 Mars1.881.523.533.51 Jupiter11.95.20142141 Saturn29.59.54870868 T 2 = R 3
52
Types of Orbits: Orbits are conic sections: Circle Ellipse Parabola Hyperbola From Kepler’s Law, the central body is at a focus of the conic section
53
Kepler: Kepler’s Laws...Orbits described by conic sections Velocity of an orbit described by following equation For a circle (a=r): For a ellipse (a>0): For a parabola (a= ):
54
Questions: Let’s figure it out… v is velocity G is Universal Gravitational Constant M is mass of planet or satellite R is radius of planet of satellite
55
Earth, the Moon, Mars, and the Stars Beyond A Brief Discussion on Mission Design
56
Orbit Introduction: What is an orbit? - The path of a satellite around the Earth (or any central body) What shape is it? - Orbits are conic sections - Circles, Ellipses, Parabolas, Hyperbolas How are orbits described? - Position and Velocity at any one time - Keplerian Elements (from Kepler’s Laws)
57
Orbit Definition: Velocity & Position - Given position and velocity of a satellite at time t, you can calculate the position and velocity at any other time
58
Orbit Definition: Keplerian Elements - Semi major axis (a) - Size - Eccentricity (e) - Shape
59
Orbit Definition: Keplerian Elements - Inclination (i) - Angle to the Equator
60
Orbit Definition:
61
Keplerian Elements - Right Ascension of Ascending Node (RAAN, Ω) - Rotation about the Earth’s Spin Axis
62
Orbit Definition: Keplerian Elements - Argument of Perigee (ω) - Rotation of the conic section in the plane
63
Orbit Definition: Keplerian Elements - True Anomaly (θ) - Defines the position of a body in orbit - Angle between the Position Vector and the vector to Perigee - Elliptical only
64
Orbital Elements: Used to determine a satellite’s location in orbit:
65
Types of Orbits:

Types of Orbits (cont.) Geosynchronous/Geostationary (equator)
68
Types of Orbits (cont.) Critical Inclination
69
