This satellite will follow a sun-synchronous, polar orbit at an altitude of 700 km above Earth’s surface. It will complete one orbit around Earth every 99 minutes and provide spectacular high resolution satellite imagery of Earth’s surface and atmosphere. Please solve for the orbital velocity (in mph) of the MAIA satellite in its circular orbit around Earth. (Show all of your work.) Things you need to know:
