 ===== Project 3: Part A: Geostationary orbit =====
 {{:course_planning:river_photo_2.jpg|}}
-The Carver Media Group is planning the launch of a new communications satellite. Elliot Carver (head of Carver Media Group) is concerned about the launch. This is a $200,000,000 endeavor. In particular, he is worried about the orbital speed necessary to maintain the satellite's geostationary orbit (and if that depends on the launch mass). You were hired as an engineer on the launch team. Carver has asked that you allay his concerns.

You were hired as an engineer on the launch team and tried to point out the orbital speed for a satellite at geostationary orbit is already a known quantity. Carver wants hard mathematical evidence that the distance and orbital speed are what the internet says they are.  Provide evidence in order to allay his concerns.
