The spacecraft moves around the Earth in a circular orbit with a radius of R=6570 km. How much fuel will be required to propel the ship beyond the solar system? Information about the spacecraft and its propulsion system: mass of the spacecraft with propulsion system and fuel m0=40000 kg; gas flow velocity u=4000 m/s. Information about the Earth and the Sun: radius of the Earth's orbit Rq~ 1.5 -10th m; mass of the Earth M3=6•1024 kg; mass of the Sun Mc=2•1030 kg; gravitational constant G=6.67•1011 N•m2/kg2.
