Understanding Orbits What determines the velocity of spacecraft in a circular orbit? Fc Altitude: given v Velocity of spacecraft Vcir = 631.3481 r-1/2 km/sec r - is from center of the earth – 6378 km Orbit Vesc = 892.8611 r-1/2 km/sec Fg Orbit Period Circumference = 2pr Time to orbit = distance/velocity Orbit Period = Time to orbit (minutes) What about gravitational pull on the satellite in the orbit? Would it be uniform all around the orbit? Page 181 SSE-120
Understanding Orbits Spacecraft Orbital Velocity and Orbit Period -2 What is ISS altitude? h = (150) (1.852) = 278 km LEO = 17,142 mi/hour convert km/s mi/hour X (km/s) x 60s/m x 60m/hour x (1/1.6) mi/km = X (km/s) x 2250 mi/hour V = (7.739 km/s) x 2250 mi/hour = 17,142 mi/hour SSE-120
