Question:
It was observed that as the Galileo spacecraft reached the point of its trajectory closest to Io, a moon of the planet Jupiter, it was at a distance of 2820 km from the center of Io and had a velocity of 15 km/s. Knowing that the mass of Io is 0.01496 times the mass of the earth, determine the eccentricity of the trajectory of the spacecraft as it approached Io.
