Problem 2 (20 pointsl A satellite orbiting Mars has a perigee altitude of 400 km and apogee altitude of 2,000 km. For Mars, use the mean radius of R 5 3,400 km and gravitational parameter of ,u = 4.2828x104 km3/s2. (a) Calculate the semi major axis of the orbit (in km) and the orbit period (in minutes). (b) What is the orbit eccentricity? (c) If the true anomaly (v) is 165 at the satellite location, calculate the satellite altitude (in km). ((1) For 1/ = 300, nd the ight-path angle and show whether it is positive or negative. Explain
