Determine new perigee and apogee altitudes of the satellite


A satellite is in a circular orbit 250 mi above the surface of the earth. Determine the new perigee and apogee altitudes of the satellite if an on-board maneuvering engine Increases the orbital speed of the satellite by 800 ft/s. Gives the satellite a radial (outward) component of velocity of 800 ft/s. Gives the satellite a radial (inward) component of velocity of 800 ft/s.
