(f) (g) (h) (i) (j) The perigee point of the Molniya 1-44 orbit was at an altitude of 550 km measured from the surface of the Earth. The orbital period of the satellites was set to be half a sidereal day which is 11.963 hours. The radius of the Earth can be taken as 6371 km. You may assume that the Earth can be treated as a uniform spherical mass. (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) Structural mass kg What is the apogee altitude of the Molniya 1-44 (i.e., the height above the Earth's surface)? What is the eccentricity of the orbit? What is the ratio of the speed at perigee to the speed at apogee? Suppose the the Molniya satellite is given a burn at perigee to move it from its high elliptical orbit to a circular orbit that maintains the perigee altitude above the Earth's surface. What reverse burn is required? What is the period of the new orbit? What is meant by a 'tundra orbit'?
