Question

Two spacecraft are in the same circular orbit around the Earth at an altitude of 918 km. The chase vehicle is separated from the target spacecraft by -14 degrees of true anomaly. Calculate the total delta-v required for the chase vehicle to enter into and return from a phasing orbit that will allow it to rendezvous with the target spacecraft in 4 orbits. (Answer should be given in km/s.)

Step 1

- The altitude of the orbit is 918 km, so the total radius of the orbit is 918 km + the radius of the Earth (6378 km) = 7296 km. - The velocity of a spacecraft in a circular orbit can be calculated using the formula: v = sqrt(mu / r), where mu is the gravitational Show more…
