Hi, I have a question about orbit.
Assume we are going from Earth to an inner planet, like Venus, Mercury for example, and we will be using a Hohmann trasfer, I am trying to figure out at which point we need to apply some small corrections(or called Trajectory maneuver correction in some books if I am correct), and also what cause the satellite to drift away from its interplanetary orbit. I guess it might be something do to with the rotating Earth as it will influence the orbit of the satellite but not sure about it. |
