A space vehicle destined for Mars was launched into a 200 km circular parking orbit around Earth After coasting for a period of time during which system checks were performed the velocity was increased to 11 386 km s instantaneously This velocity placed the spacecraft on a trajectory that would take it to Mars a What was the speed of the vehicle in the parking orbit b Find e E and h relative to Earth after the velocity increase What kind of orbit trajectory is the interplanetary trajectory c Compare the velocity at 2 000 000 km from Earth with the hyperbolic excess velocity vo Why are they so similar
