Derive the "Clarke radius", the altitude above the surface of the Earth where a satellite in a circular orbit has an orbital period of exactly one day. Assume a spherical Earth, and use the following constants (taken from Vallado, David A., Fundamentals of Astrodynamics and Applications, 2nd ed. 2001) Gravitational constant: G 6.673 x 10-20 km Radius of the Earth: Re = 6378.137 km 1024 kg Mass of the Earth: Me = 5.9733328 x Round your final answer to four...
