Answer the questions below based on the following information about a reconnaissance satellite: The satellite has an apogee altitude of 6,822 km and a perigee altitude of 1,542 km. The inclination is at 42 degrees, the right ascension of the ascending node is 85 degrees, and the argument of perigee is 52 degrees. The current true anomaly is 196 degrees. Be sure to carry all radian figures out to 4 significant decimal places. Special Note: Ensure your calculator mode (degrees or radians) mat...
