Find the velocity changes ve and vm that are required at


A spacecraft is ‘parked' in a circular orbit 200 km above the Earth's surface. The spacecraft is to be sent to the Moon's orbit by Hohmann transfer.

Find the velocity changes ΔvE and ΔvM that are required at the Earth and Moon respectively. How long does the journey take? [The radius of the Moon's orbit is 384,000 km. Neglect the gravitation of the Moon.]
