Hi Kathi. :)

How has your day been thus far?

It's quite ironic though. I'm fairly proficient with math.. and it's the math section of the test that I fucked up on.

Thanks, my day was ok, and yours? :)

I think I'll go to a metal bar in an hour :grin:
 
One question on one of Fourka's finals:

A1
Gravitational parameter µ = 3.986 x 105 km3 sec-2
Equatorial Radius of the Earth = 6378 km

(a) Define the GECS coordinate system. Explain why we have to modify this
definition periodically and how often we update it. [25%]

(b) A satellite is at a location (1165.77, -3016.32, -6364.18) km in the GECS coordinate system and is travelling with a velocity (9.63, 1.92, 0.44) km s-1. Determine the specific energy and the 3 components of the specific orbital angular momentum vector. Hence determine the semi-major axis, eccentricity and inclination of this orbit. Describe this orbit in terms of its ground track. [65%]

(c)
(i) Explain why this satellite needs to have this particular inclination
(ii) describe what would happen if the inclination were to have any other value.
[25%]
 
Good evenin' folks. :)

Hehe, as i posted last night i watched the Jackass dvd, anywho, i have recently been sick with the flu and are still feeling pretty from that.

In the end some sick bastard makes a snowcone outside and then he piss on it. =/ And then eats the fuckin thing and throws up. I took about thirty seconds then i was head first in the toilet heaving out me dinner.

They are so funny but disgusting. :D
