Chapter 3, Problem 3/290(choose chapter or problem)
The 175,000-lb space-shuttle orbiter is in a circular orbit of altitude 200 miles. The two orbital maneuvering-system (OMS) engines, each of which has a thrust of 6000 lb, are fired in retro thrust for 150 seconds. Determine the angle \(\beta\) which locates the intersection of the shuttle trajectory with the earth’s surface. Assume that the shuttle position B corresponds to the completion of the OMS burn and that no loss of altitude occurs during the burn.
