Describe an elliptic orbit about a planet


Solve the below problem:

Q: A satellite describes an elliptic orbit about a planet of mass M. Denoting by r0 and r1 , respectively, the minimum and maximum values of the distance r from the satellite to the center of the planet, derive the relation 1/r0 + 1/r1 = 2GM/h2 where h is the angular momentum per unit mass of the satellite.
