Question: At a given instant t 0 , a 1 0 0 0 - kg earth - orbiting satellite has the inertial position and velocity vectors

At a given instant t0, a 1000-kg earth-orbiting satellite has the inertial position and velocity vectors
r0=3207i +5459j +2714k (km)
v0=6.532i +0.7835j +6.142k (km/s).
Solve
r =\mu
r3 r

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 MEEM5720 students, I encourage you (but not required) to write your own program to
solve this problem. If you use MATLAB, ode45 may be a good option to use.
