A satellite is moving in a low nearly circular orbit around the earth. Its radius is roughly equal to that of earth's radius `R_e`. By firing rockets attached to it, its speed is instantaneously increased in the direction of its motion so that it becomes `sqrt(3/2)` times larger. Due to this the farthest distance from the centre of the earth that the satellite reaches is R. Value of R is :
