Consider the orbit determined in Example 8.1 and drawn in Fig. 8.15. An impulse is applied at the descending node to obtain a pure change in the orbital inclination angle of 20°. Calculate the value of the impulse ΔV required to perform this plane change maneuver. How does the magnitude of this impulse compare with that calculated in Example 8.6 for a change in inclination of only half as much?
