A Tale of Two Orbits
What are the optimal conditions for transferring from one orbit to the other?
Can you devise a strategy for moving from one circular orbit to a different and concentric circular orbit?
Given that you are in a circular orbit and there is another satellite ahead of you in the same circular orbit, devise a strategy to rendezvous with the other satellite.
is the energy of the orbit
is the angular momentum of the orbit
is the reduced mass of the satellite and the planet
is the product of the gravitational constant and the product of the masses of the planet and the satellite
