Question: 2. Calculate the total required v for a Hohmann transfer from a LEO orbit of 7000 km radius to a MEO orbit of 24,000 km

2. Calculate the total required v for a Hohmann transfer from a LEO orbit of 7000 km radius to a MEO orbit of 24,000 km radius, with and without a 28.5 degree plane change. For simplicity, please do the plane change all in one maneuver and where it will be the least costly. A spacecraft is in a 6828 km radius circular orbit, with the following power requirements: Pe = 1150 w Te = 35.9 min
