Re: [amsat-bb] satellite propulsion thrust equations

[G0MRF@xxxxxxx]

OK, last post on this topic.
 
Following last weeks discussion about Medium Earth Orbits and the MEOSAT  
idea, I have posted some basic details of thrust, total impulse, gravitational  
acceleration etc.
 
Together with Achim's Excel spreadsheet, it's now possible to calculate the  
increase in orbital height for a particular 'satellite'.  I've posted two  
worked examples using a cold gas thruster together with a solid fuel  option.
 
It's just a bit of fun, but educational.
