Answer:
t = 12,105.96 sec
Explanation:
Given data:
weight of spacecraft is 2000 kg
circular orbit distance to saturn = 180 km
specific impulse = 300 sec
saturn orbit around the sun R_2 = 1.43 *10^9 km
earth orbit around the sun R_1= 149.6 * 10^ 6 km
time required for the mission is given as t
![t = \frac{2\pi}{\sqrt{\mu_sun}} [\frac{1}{2}(R_1 + R_2)]^{3/2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=t%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B2%5Cpi%7D%7B%5Csqrt%7B%5Cmu_sun%7D%7D%20%5B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%28R_1%20%2B%20R_2%29%5D%5E%7B3%2F2%7D)
where
is gravitational parameter of sun = 1.32712 x 10^20 m^3 s^2.![t = \frac{2\pi}{\sqrt{ 1.32712 x 10^{20}}} [\frac{1}{2}(149.6 * 10^ 6 +1.43 *10^9 )]^{3/2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=t%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B2%5Cpi%7D%7B%5Csqrt%7B%201.32712%20x%2010%5E%7B20%7D%7D%7D%20%5B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%28149.6%20%2A%2010%5E%206%20%2B1.43%20%2A10%5E9%20%29%5D%5E%7B3%2F2%7D)
t = 12,105.96 sec
