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
where
is gravitational parameter of sun = 1.32712 x 10^20 m^3 s^2.
t = 12,105.96 sec
1 horsepower is equal to 746 W, so the power of the engine is
The power is also defined as the energy E per unit of time t:
Where the energy corresponds to the work done by the engine, which is
. Re-arranging the formula, we can calculate the time t needed to do this amount of work:
The power is also defined as the energy E per unit of time t:
Where the energy corresponds to the work done by the engine, which is
