Question:
The space station and spacecraft A and B are all in the same circular earth orbit of 350 km altitude. Spacecraft A is 600 km behind the space station and spacecraft B is 600 km ahead of the space station. At the same instant, both spacecraft apply a Δv⊥ so as to arrive at the space station in one revolution of their phasing orbits.
(a) Calculate the time required for each spacecraft to reach the space station.
(b) Calculate the total delta-v requirement for each spacecraft.
