Satellite Communication 17EC755

Problem statement : 16 A rocket injects a satellite with a horizontal velocity of 8 km/s from a height of 1620 km
from the surface of the Earth. What will be the velocity of the satellite at a point distant 10 000 km from the centre of
the Earth, if the direction of the satellite makes an angle of 30◦ with the local horizontal at that point? Assume radius
of the Earth to be 6380 km.

Satellite Communication 17EC755

Problem statement : 17 A rocket injects a satellite with a certain horizontal velocity from a height of 620 km from
the surface of the Earth. The velocity of the satellite at a point distant 9000 km from the centre of the Earth is
observed to be 8 km/s. If the direction of the satellite makes an angle of 30◦ with the local horizontal at that point,
determine the apogee distance of the satellite orbit. (Assume that the radius of the Earth is 6380 km and = 39.8 × 1013
m3/s2.)
