1. (20 points) A telecommunications satellite of 1500 kg mass is to be placed in geosyn- chronous orbit. The satellite is first placed in a circular 850 km altitude "parking" orbit then boosted to its final geosynchronous position via a Hohmann elliptical trans- fer orbit. (a) Calculate the energy required to "lift" the satellite to its initial 850 km altitude "parking" orbit. (b) Determine the radius of the final geosynchronous orbit. (c) Describe the basic principles of the Hohmann transfer manoeuvre used to achieve the shift from 850 km altitude to final geosynchronous orbit. (d) Calculate the two AV's that must be achieved to accomplish the transfer to geosynchronous orbit.
