Consider two satellites A and B of equal mass m, moving in the same circular orbit of radius r around the earth E but in opposite sense of rotation and therefore on a collision course (see figure).
In terms of G, Me, m and r find the total mechanical energy EA + EB of the two satellite plus earth system before collision.
