Mechanical Engineering

NASA is sending a remote-sensing spacecraft to Mars.

Given:

Earth parking orbit altitude= 1000 km

Mars Parking orbit altitude=  500 km

μEarth =  3.99x105km3/s2

μMars =  4.280x104km3/s2

μSun =  1.33x1011km3/s2

Earth's orbital radius =   1.50x108 km (assume Earth has a circular orbit for thisproblem)

Mars' orbital radius=  2.28  x108 km (assume Mars has acircular orbit for this problem)

Find the semi major axis of the transfer orbit, v∞Earth , v∞Mars, ΔVboost,ΔVretro ,ΔVmission (enter your answer as a number which will be assumed to be in km)
