numerically to find the maximum altitude reached by the satellite and the time at which it occurs.
You may start with the orbit.m MATLAB program provided on Canvas and modify it to get the
answers, or write your own program.
For MEEM students, I encourage you but not required to write your own program to
solve this problem. If you use MATLAB, ode may be a good option to use.
