Part — B (5 x 16 = 80 marks) is moving in an elliptical orbit. The value of eccentric anomaly at an eccentricity of the orbit is 0.267, the corresponding radial ‘the value of true anomaly, semi-latus rectum angThe radial and tangential velocities at a particular instant in an elliptica of eccentricity 0.86 about the earth are 4.3 km/s and 2.6 km/s respect semi-latus rectum of the orbit’ Define the concepts : sphere of influence of a planet and osculating orbit of a satellite with neat illustrations. (8) A rocket undergoing a vertical trajectory has a mass ratio of 6.6 and specific impulse of 272 seconds. The thrust to weight ratio and initial launch mass of the rocket vehicle respectively are 1.6 and 584 kg. The mass flow rate of the propellant is constant at 3.5 kg/s. Find out burnout time, culmination time and altitude reached at 50% of bumout time. Also calculate burnout altitude, culmination altitude achieved bby the rocket vehicle. What are the maximum possible values of burnout altitude and culmination altitude? Thrust can be assumed constant. Gravitational field is homogeneous and aerodynamic force effects can be ignored.
