Derive the relations to represent 3 dimensional position and velocity vectors. ra me: - 5 Marks 2P Define a Lambert Problem. Describe a procedure to solve the Lambert problem. Specify the assumptions and limitations of the procedure, if any. 2 a = 5 Marks 3), a) List the major perturbations on Earth orbiting spacecraft. oe ~~ 6) Discuss the terms ‘Precision’ and ‘Nutation’ and their iniplications on geocentric inertial frames. of ‘ e qo 5 Marks 4) a) Find out the inclination of an orbit 600 x 900 km to make this orbit sun-synchronous. b) Assuming the shape of the orbit given in (a), find out the orbit size so that the resulting orbit is sun synchronous and has zero apsis rotation rate. ¢ (2 +3)5 Marks 5) a) Design a maneuver to transfer a space vehicle in a 250 x 23000 km orbit to an orbit of 250 x 400,000 km orbit. All given numbers are altitudes. S$ 'b) While imparting the required velocity impulse in the above maneuver, about 200 m/s is imparted in addition to the required velocity impulse. Find out the resulting orbit in this mission? - 5 Marks Some useful information : (Gravitational constant of Earth = 398600 km’ /s*; Equatorial radius of Earth = 6378 km; 1082.63x10°) aa Sj Re a= ~ zag Mcost rad/sec ; de 2 vy oe ayo"
