Suppose that you want to transfer a spacecraft from a lower orbit to a higher orbit with an inclination change, should you do a plane change maneuver before a Hohmann Transfer or after it? Why?
Homework Answers
First, Hohmann transfer orbit is used to change the size of the orbit. This is done in a two-step burn. The first burn is to transfer the spacecraft to elliptical transfer orbit, we know that in an elliptical orbit, spacecraft slow down at apogee, so there we can use plane change maneuver.
Remember It’s always cheaper and recommended to change planes when the orbital velocity is slowest, which is at apogee for elliptical transfer orbits of Hohmann maneuver.

2. (10 points) The Hohmann transfer orbit, proposed by Walter Hohmann in 1925, is the most energy- efficient means of traveling from a circular orbit of radius r, to another circular orbit of radius r. The maneuver consists of two engine burns. The first burm places the spacecraft into an elliptical orbit with ri and r2 as the distances of closest and farthest approach (not necessarily respectively). Once the distance rz is reached, a second burn takes the spacecraft into...

2. To get from Earth to Saturn as economically and quickly as possible, spacecraft make use of an elliptical transfer trajectory called the Hohmann transfer orbit. As shown in the diagram, below, Hohmann transfer facilitates a smooth transition between two planetary bodies in roughly circular orbits located on the same plane. For our solar system, this plane is known as the ecliptic. Using data you can find online for the orbits of Earth, Saturn and the Sun and assuming that...

Suppose we decide to send a spacecraft to Saturn, using one
transfer orbit that connects the earth to Saturn. Craft starts in a
circular orbit (centering the Sun) close to Earth (radius 1 AU) and
is to end up in another orbit near Saturn (radius 10 AU). Ignore
the effects of other planets in the solar system.

Consider a very small spacecraft in a circular orbit around the earth. Suppose it is in this orbit for some time, but then, instantaneously, the Earths mass suddenly becomes 50% smaller than it was previously. Determine the resulting orbit of the spacecraft and justify your answer. (note: assume that the only effect on the spacecraft is that it is subsequently moving in the gravitational field of a 50% less massive Earth, and its mass and velocity are the same just...

5. NASA decides to send a spacecraft to Neptune by the simple Hohmann transfer de- scribed in Example 8.6 of the text book. The spacecraft starts in a circular orbit near the Earth and must end up in a circular orbit near Neptune at 30 times greater dis- tance from the Sun. Using Kepler's 3rd law, show that the transfer will take about 31 years to complete. What thrust factor =V/v is required to start the spacecraft on its journey?...

Consider a Hohmann transfer from a circular parking orbit around Earth at 200 km altitude, to the Moon (distance center of mass Earth – center of mass Moon is 384,000 km; you can ignore the size of the Moon and the altitude of the target orbit around the Moon). The Moon orbits Earth in a circular orbit as well. Both orbits (parking,Moon) are coplanar. What is the velocity of the Moon,and what is the velocity of the satellite when reaching...

At point A, the spacecraft is firing its thrusters Sun, to point E the tangentially to the closer to the s e trajectory such that it will fall on an elliptical orbit, which will bring it un, to point B. At point B, it once again fires its thrusters tangentially to its ry to go...

You want to transfer a document from one computer to another, and you want the document to be encrypted. The destination computer is on another network, so you know data has to travel through one or more routers. The network technology on your network is Ethernet, but the technology on the destination network is Wi-Fi. From what you have learned about networking, should this document transfer work? Why or why not? Which layers of the OSI model are involved in...
