A satellite is launched with an initial velocity
parallel to the surface of the earth.
Determine the required altitude (or range of altitudes)
above the earth’s surface for launching if the free-flight
trajectory is to be (a) circular, (b) parabolic, (c) elliptical,
and (d) hyperbolic. Take
the earth’s radius and
1mi=5280 ft.
