Consider a 435 kg satellite in a circular orbit at a distance of 3.06×104 km above the earth’s surface. what is the minimum amount of work w the satellite’s thrusters must do to raise the satellite to a geosynchronous orbit? geosynchronous orbits occur at approximately 3.60×104 km above the earth’s surface. the radius of the earth and the mass of the earth are re=6.37×103 km and me=5.97×1024 kg, respectively. the gravitational constant g=6.67×10−11 m3/kg·s2. assume the change in mass of the satellite is negligible.
