A spacecraft S is in a geocentric hyperbolic trajectory with a perigee radius of 7000 km and a perigee speed of 1.3vesc. At perigee, the spacecraft releases a projectile B with a speed of 7.1 km/s parallel to the spacecraft's velocity. How far d from the earth's surface is S at the instant B impacts the earth? Neglect the atmosphere.
