The Cygnus OA-7 Mission was launched on April 18, 2017 to the International Space Station (ISS) to deliver supplies. The ISS is at a 409 altitude circular orbit. The resupply spacecraft performed the following mission (not exactly but good for this problem):
- launched into a 210 by 298 km altitude elliptical orbit and completed 1 orbit.
- performed a Hohmann transfer from the apoapsis of the insertion orbit to the 409 km altitude ISS orbit
- circularized at the 409 km altitude
- μ of Earth is 398600 km3/sec2 and radius of Earth is 6378.0 km.
Compute the DV to inject into the Hohmann transfer orbit from the apoapsis of the insertion orbit.
a. Dv = 32.67555788 m/sec
b. Dv = 31.65765998 m/sec
c. Dv = 57.46345846 m/sec
d. Dv = 58.34456778 m/sec
