CHAPTER 5.MISSION ANALYSIS• <strong>the</strong> semi-major axis:a = r p + r a2(5.1)• <strong>the</strong> eccentricity:• <strong>the</strong> angular momentum and its magnitude:e = r a − r pr a + r p(5.2)h = r × v h = |h| = rvcos(γ) (5.3)where r is <strong>the</strong> radius, v <strong>the</strong> speed and γ <strong>the</strong> flight angle.• <strong>the</strong> orbit parameter which represents <strong>the</strong> radius of <strong>the</strong> circular orbit having<strong>the</strong> same angular momentum:p = a ( 1 − e 2) = h2µ = r c (5.4)• <strong>the</strong> speed on <strong>the</strong> circular orbit having <strong>the</strong> same angular momentum:v c = µ h(5.5)• <strong>the</strong> energyE = − µ 2a = v22 − µ rwhere v and r are <strong>the</strong> magnitude of speed and <strong>the</strong> radius.(5.6)• <strong>the</strong> periodT = 2π√a 3µ(5.7)Introducing <strong>the</strong> true anomaly ϑ we can identify <strong>the</strong> radius on each orbitpoint:r =p1 + ecos(ϑ)(5.8)Galli Stefania 35 University of Liège
