Problem 4 (10 pts.): Two elliptical orbits share the same central body and apsidal line as shown in

below figure. Point A lies at the apogee of orbit 1. Point B lies at the apogee of orbit 2. Perform a

Hohmann transfer from point A to point B. All numbers have been non-dimensionalzed such that μ

1. The apogee and perigee of orbit 1 and 2 are given by

=

= 10

and

Respectively. What is the total Av for the maneuver?

11p₁ = 4

√√₁2 = 8

(p2 = 3

Point B
