The International Space Station typically travels in a circular orbit at an altitude of 400 km above the Earth's surface. The Earth itself has a radius of about 6400 km. Assume that the space station travels in a circular orbit at constant speed (this is a perfectly reasonable assumption). A. Given that the value of g is 8.68m/s28.68m/s2at an altitude of 400 km, determine the value of the space station's speed in its circular orbit. _______ m/s B. At this...

STS 133, Space Shuttle Discovery’s last flight, was launched on February 24, 2011 at 16:53 EST from the Kennedy Space Center into an initial 208 x 232 km altitude orbit at an inclination of 51.6 degrees. The International Space Station was in a circular orbit about Earth at an altitude of 405 km and an inclination of 51.6 degrees. Assuming a two-impulse Hohmann transfer, what was the DV required for the Shuttle to rendezvous with the Station?

QUESTION 17 The International Space Station which presently has mass of about 420,000 kilograms, maintains an orbit with an altitude of between 330 and 435 kilometers (205 and 270 miles respectively) above the Earth surface by means of re-boost maneuvers using the engines of the Zvezda module or visiting spacecraft to compensate for 2 km/month orbital decay due to the atmospheric drag. Calculate the following for the low orbit of the ISS (330 kilometers above the Earth surface), assuming that...

10) The international space station (ISS) orbits the Earth from
an altitude of 408 km.
a) Calculate the strength of Earth’s gravity on the ISS at that
altitude. (Hint: How far is the ISS from the center of mass of the
Earth?)
b) Earth’s gravity is what keeps the ISS in its orbit (which we
will assume is circular). At what speed does the ISS orbit the
Earth?

1) A space shuttle without fuel weighs 75,000 kg. The international space station is 408 km in the sky. It will reach this altitude in roughly 450 seconds. Neglecting the weight of fuel (which is a complex calculation as it is used up by the flight), as well as any reduction to the force of gravity at that height, calculate: (A) The potential energy of the space shuttle at the height of the ISS (B) the work needed to get...

The space shuttle typically travels in a circular orbit at an altitude of 500 km above the Earth's surface. The Earth itself has a radius of about 6400 km. The shuttle can travel in a circular orbit, at constant speed, without any need for the rocket engine to be on, if it travels at just the right speed (a) Given that the value of g is 8.50 m/s2 at an altitude of 500 km, determine the value of the shuttle's...
