A satellite in a circular orbit of radius r around the earth has velocity  where RE. = 6370 km is the radius of the earth. Suppose you are designing a rocket to transfer a 900-kg communication satellite from a circular parking orbit with 6700-km radius to a circular geosynchronous orbit with 42,222-km radius. How much work must the rocket do on the satellite?
