Event Name: L3: Transfer Orbits and Change Inclination through One Maneuver
Location: Online
Date(s): Nov-6
Time: 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m. (ET)
Price: Free
Description:
This class will walk you through how to use STK's Astrogator capability to transfer a satellite from a low-Earth parking orbit to an outer circular orbit at a different inclination. One way to accomplish this is to use a Hohmann Transfer to increase the radius of the orbit, followed by a maneuver to decrease its inclination. However, it's more economical to combine the second phase of the Hohmann transfer with the inclination change into a single, combined maneuver. We will try it both ways and consider some other alternatives..
Upon completion of this class, you will:
- Design a Hohmann Transfer followed by a plane change
- Combine a plane change
- Maximize the efficiency of plane changes
Engineers will be on hand to answer your questions live.
Comments:
This class will be taught using STK 13.0. If you want to follow along with the instructor, we recommend upgrading to STK 13.0 if you have not already. If you are unable to upgrade STK before this class, you can use STK Cloud, a web-based version of STK. There is nothing to download in advance with STK Cloud. It does not require a license or software install. If you would like to use STK Cloud, please select that option when registering and use the link provided in your confirmation email the day of the class to access STK Cloud. To use STK Cloud, you will need the following:
- An agi.com account
- HTML5-capable browser (IE is not recommended)
