IOAA 2016, Теория, английски — Задача 9. Mars Orbiter Mission
Theoretical Examination · 20 т.
Внимание: Бележка към темата
Both archived English question editions print T12 AstroSat, but both 27-page English worked keys substitute T12 Exoplanets. No matching AstroSat solution was found in the inspected full year inventory. Summary Answer Sheets and Cover Sheet named by the instructions were not found in this archived source pack. Instructions specify 13 questions totalling 300 points; both question editions contain 12 questions totalling 250 points. Printed numerical/formula discrepancies are retained: T8 uses c/lambda_max for nu_max and prints 1233 pi then 3813; T9 numerical velocity denominator lacks a power of ten and the stated semimajor axis is 20933 km; T11.4 prints a direct rather than inverse mass ratio in the radius-cubed relation; T11.7 prose says 166.67 Hz while its mass calculation uses 142.86 Hz. No inferred corrections are substituted.

e. A set of Summary Answersheets
f. Cover Sheet
(4) Use only black or blue pen for writing. For figures, you may use pencils.
(5) There is no negative marking.
(6) Some marks will be deducted if the final answer is given without detailed solution.
(7) Some marks will be deducted if the final answers have inappropriate number of significant digits, no units or wrong units.
(8) The necessary values of fundamental and astronomical constants should be taken from the Table of Constants provided to you.
(9) Instructions regarding using the answersheets

b. You should also show detailed solution in the blank space provided on each Summary Answersheet. If necessary, you can ask for extra blank sheets from the invigilators.
c. Use separate blank sheets for each question.
d. Write your contestant code, question number and page number on FRONT side of each blank sheet. Write your contestant code and page number on the BACK side of each blank sheet.
e. The page numbers should be continuous, i.e., if you use 20 sheets for the entire examination (including the Summary Answersheets), the page numbers should run from 1 to 40.
f. Write only inside the boxed area.
g. For the work that you do not want to be evaluated, cross that part out.

Условие
India's Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) was launched using the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) on 5 November 2013. The dry mass of MOM (body + instruments) was 500 kg and it carried fuel of mass 852 kg. It was initially placed in an elliptical orbit around the Earth with perigee at a height of 264.1 km and apogee at a height of 23903.6 km, above the surface of the Earth. After raising the orbit six times, MOM was transferred to a trans-Mars injection orbit (Hohmann orbit).
The first such orbit-raising was performed by firing the engines for a very short time near the perigee. The engines were fired to change the orbit without changing the plane of the orbit and without changing its perigee. This gave a net impulse of to the satellite. Ignore the change in mass due to burning of fuel.
T9.1 What is the height of the new apogee, above the surface of the Earth, after this engine burn? [14 т.]
T9.2 Find the eccentricity () of the new orbit after the burn and the new orbital period () of MOM in hours. [6 т.]
Решение
T9.1
What is the height of the new apogee, , above the surface of the Earth, after this engine burn?
Solution:
Let apogee and perigee distances be and respectively.
[1.0]
[1.0]
Conservation of energy and angular momentum gives
Total energy at perigee
[2.0]
[1.0]
As the engine burn is just 41.6 s, we assume that the entire impulse is applied instantaneously at perigee. The impulse is . Note that the total mass of MOM must include the fuel, so we have to use . [1.0]
Change in velocity due to impulse at perigee is
[1.0]
The new velocity will be given by (we use symbol to denote quantities after the first orbit-raising maneuvre)
[1.0]
The perigee remains unchanged. So we get . [1.0]
Since the satellite is moving faster, the new apogee will be higher.
[2.0]
[2.0]
[1.0]
Acceptable range: ±150 km
T9.2
Find eccentricity () of the new orbit after the burn and new orbital period () of MOM in hours.
Solution:
As seen above,
[1.0]
[1.0]
Acceptable range: ±0.002
The new orbital semi-major axis and orbital period will be,
[1.0]
[1.0]
[1.0]
[1.0]
Acceptable range: ±0.1 h
