Influence of the sun gravity


Flight to Mars. To send a satellite from Earth to Mars, a rocket must accelerate the satellite until it is in the correct elliptical orbit around the sun. The satellite does not travel to Mars under rocket power, because that would require more fuel than it could carry. It just moves on a Keplerian orbit under the influence of the sun's gravity. The satellite orbit must have perihelion r = 1.496e11 meters, and aphelion r = 2.28e11 meters.

Calculate the time for the satellite's journey. Express the result in days.
