Question:
Just after launch from the earth, the space-shuttle orbiter is in the 37 × 137-mi orbit shown. The first time that the orbiter passes the apogee A, its two orbital-maneuvering-system (OMS) engines are fired to circularize the orbit. If the weight of the orbiter is 175,000 lb and the OMS engines have a thrust of 6000 lb each, determine the required time duration Δt of the burn.
