Mars, it is assumed that the orbits o f the earth and Mars are circular and
coplanar. The mean distances from the sun to the earth and to Mars are
149.6 x 106 km and 227.8 x 106 km, respectively. To place the spacecraft
into an elliptical transfer orbit at point A, its speed is increased over a
short interval of time to vA which is faster than the earths orbital speed.
When the spacecraft reaches point B on the elliptical transfer orbit, its
speed v B is increased to the orbital speed o f Mars. Knowing that the
mass of the sun is 332.8 x 103 times the mass of the earth, determine the
increase in velocity required (a) at A, (b) at B.
