A satellite is in an elliptical orbit around the earth with aphelion of `6 R` and perihelion of `2 R` where `R = 6400 km` is the radius of the earth. Find accentricity of the orbit. Find the velocity of the satellite at apogee and perigee. What should be done if this satellite has to be transferred to a circular orbit of radius `6R`? `[G = 6.67 xx 10^(-11) SI` units and `M = 6 xx 10^(24) kg]`
