Consider a satellite at an altitude of 700 km above Earth, with its velocity perpendicular to the direction to Earth. If the satellite would have a velocity that is 0.2 km/s larger than the local escape velocity, what would the excess velocity V∞ be?

The answer was 2.07 km/s.

I would like to know the detailed steps to reach that answer

Consider a 200 kg spacecraft orbiting the Earth. The vehicle’s position at a given time (lets call it time zero), relative to a non-rotating reference frame with origin at Earth’s centre, is r = −5310i + 5040j km. Its velocity vector at time zero is v = −4.85i − 6.37j km/s. 1. Calculate the distance from Earth’s centre to the spacecraft, the speed of the spacecraft, and the specific angular momentum (magnitude and direction) relative to Earth’s centre at time...
