Question

A space shuttle S and a satellite A are in the circular orbits shown. In order for the shuttle to recover the satellite, the shuttle is first placed in an elliptic path BC by increasing its speed by delta v_B = 280 ft/s as it passes through B. As the shuttle approaches C, its speed is increased by delta v_C = 260 ft/s to insert it into a second elliptic transfer orbit CD. Knowing that the distance from O to C is 4289 mi, determine the amount by which the speed of the shuttle should be increased as it approaches D to insert it into the circular orbit of the satellite.

Explanation / Answer

please upload the figure , don't know what is BC , CD etc.
