3.2 fact check

  3.2.1 Part I: Hohmann
  3.2.2 Part II: Tangential Flyby
  3.2.3 Part III: Non-Tangential Flyby Behind the Moon
  3.2.4 Part III: Non-Tangential Flyby In Front of the Moon

This is a check on some selected values for the first parts of the Lunar Project. There are multiple solutions to the fourth part, the free-return trajectory, but you can use this worksheet to verify your code for the first three parts. This is entirely optional and not part of your project grade.

NOTE: The write-up requests more values than those shown here.

3.2.1 Part I: Hohmann

Semi-major axis: Answer km

Total \(\Delta V\) Answer km/s

3.2.2 Part II: Tangential Flyby

Turning angle of the asymptotes: Answer degrees

Speed after the flyby relative to the Earth: Answer km/s

Eccentricity on post-flyby trajectory: Answer

3.2.3 Part III: Non-Tangential Flyby Behind the Moon

Turning angle of the asymptotes: Answer degrees

Speed after the flyby relative to the Earth: Answer km/s

Eccentricity on post-flyby trajectory: Answer

3.2.4 Part III: Non-Tangential Flyby In Front of the Moon

Turning angle of the asymptotes: Answer degrees

Speed after the flyby relative to the Earth: Answer km/s

Eccentricity on post-flyby trajectory: Answer
