1SS 3011Space Technology and Applications
Applications of the Rocket-Equation Calculating
the Fuel Budget for an Orbital Phasing Maneuver
of a GeoStationary Satellite
2Phasing Maneuver
Design a Orbital Maneuver that Allows
Transfer of a GEO Synchronous Communication
Satellite from the Longitude of New York City
to the Longitude of Los Angeles
3Phasing Maneuver (part 2)
Design a Reverse Orbital Maneuver that Puts
the Satellite Back to the Longitude of New York
City after Mission Has been accomplished
4What To Compute
Compute Phasing Orbit
Parameters Phasing Orbit Period
Required DV1, DV2 Assume Rmin gt
32,000 km (to stay above Van Allen belts)
Note It may take Multiple orbits of
Phasing Orbit to accomplish this task
5What To Compute (contd)
Compute Burn time for Transfer
Orbit Insertion Burn Time for
Final Orbit Insertion Required
Fuel Budget for DV1, DV2
