I'll appreciate it.
General data:
Equatorial radius: Earth = 6,378 km; Mars = 3,389.5 km; Venus =
6,051.8 km, Moon = 1,737.1 km.
Gravitational parameter (km3/s2): Earth = 3,986 x10^5; Moon =
4.904 x 10^3; Mars = 4.282 X 10^4; Venus = 3.248 x10^5
2) Assuming that a space debris removal
mechanism is possible using a spacecraft coupling where the
interceptor is the mechanism and the target is the space debris,
determine:
a) Calculate the optimal total speed increment as a function of
fuel consumption and the necessary conditions (i.e., the
assumptions) for the encounter to occur in 107.77 minutes knowing
that the target is behind the interceptor and orbits co circular
orbital and whose orbital radius is 7000km
b) Do the drawing that exemplifies this
solution. Don't forget to put the direction of the speed
increments, as well as the direction of movement of the
vehicles;
