    Dynamics: Get Help Solving Apogee-Perigee Satellite Orbit Problem

    hmm..I considered that. That would give me GM, but still Ra and Rb would be unknown. Unless I am missing something, but the Earth's radius would just add another number, not eliminate any variable (Earths radius is a part of Ra and Rb). Thanks for the advice though, I will try and see how else I...

    Dynamics: Get Help Solving Apogee-Perigee Satellite Orbit Problem

    Homework Statement A Satellite is to be placed in an elliptic orbit about the earth. Knowing that the ration Va/Vp of the velocity at the apogee A to the velocity at perigee P is equal to the ration Rp/Ra of the distance to the center of the Earth at P to that at A, and the distance between...

    MATLAB Matlab arrays with numbers and characters

    So, I'm trying to create an array with both numbers and specific characters, like # and C. I want it to be displayed like a standard array of numbers. So the output would resemble. 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 5 # C 6 6 @ 6 Thanks,
