Solved: The space probe Deep Space 1 was launched on
Chapter 4, Problem 4.104(choose chapter or problem)
The space probe Deep Space 1 was launched on October 24, 1998. Its mass was 474 kg. The goal of the mission was to test a new kind of engine called an ion propulsion drive. This engine generated only a weak thrust, but it could do so over long periods of time with the consumption of only small amounts of fuel. The mission was spectacularly successful. At a thrust of 56 mN how many days were required for the probe to attain a velocity of 805 m/s (1800 mi/h), assuming that the probe started from rest and that the mass remained nearly constant?
