What are Kepler’s three laws of planetary motion?
Give the mathematical formulation of Kepler’s third law of planetary motion.
Q1. Calculate the radius of a circular orbit for which the period is 90 minutes. CO 1 2+1+2=5
(μ=3.986005x105 km3/s2)

Make a comparison between LEO, MEO and GEO types of satellite orbits.
Calculate the apogee and perigee heights from the earth’s surface for the following
Q2. parameters: CO 2 3+2=5
Mean earth radius R=6371 Km, eccentricity of satellite orbit e=0.0011501, and the semi-
major axis a=7129.335 Km.
An earth station situated in the Docklands of London, England, need to calculate the
look angle to a geostationary satellite in the Indian Ocean operated by INTELSAT. The
details of the earth station site and the satellite are as follows:
Earth station latitude and longitude are 52.00 N and 00.
Q3. CO 2 5
Satellite longitude (sub-satellite point) is 66.00 E and latitude is 00.
Find the central angle, elevation angle, intermediate angle, azimuth angle.
(the orbital radius of geostationary satellite is 42164.17 Km, mean earth radius is
6378.137 Km)
Explain briefly what is meant by Sun transit outage. Give a brief note on orbital
Q4. perturbations. CO 1 3+2=5
