Elliptical orbit question
Is it correct to state that the satellite's energy level is simular to
one with a circular orbit somewhere between 400km and 10,000? ( lets say 5000 for sake of disussion). If, between 5000 and 400, the satellite has more speed than needed to be in orbit, how come it continues to drop all the way down to 400km before rising? Or is this a case of the innertia gained falling from 10,000 to 5000 will make the satellite w3ant to continue in the same direction towards earth until the "slinghot" cause it to change direction and turn around and rise up in altitude again? As part of my almost daily exercise routine, I use an ellipical 2-4 times a week. I have AFG Sport 5.9AE Elliptical Machine. Works great for me.
