4. A rocket has delivered a satellite to a radial distance r0 =9500 km, where the satellite will be injected into an Earth orbit having radius of periapsis rp =
7000 km and velocity of periapsis v, = 9.725 km/s. Calculate (a) initial velocity vo and flight-path angle oo at this injection point. (b) eccentricity and period of the orbit
