SECTION-B
2. With the help of a neat diagram, explain construction, working and salient features of a
liquid rocket engine.
3. Derive Tsiolkovsky?s equation for the rocket in terms of mass ratio and specific impulse
of the rocket.
4. With the help of a diagram, show all the orbital elements and state and prove Kepler?s 2
nd

law of planetary motion.
5. Explain the boost phase and ballistic phase of the trajectory of a ballistic missile.
6. A satellite in low earth orbit starts falling due to atmospheric drag. Derive an expression
to estimate the time when satellite hits the ground.

SECTION-C
7. With the help of neat diagrams explain the methods for attitude control of spinning and
non-spinning spacecraft.
8. The data for a two stage rocket is given as below :
First stage : propellant mass = 3450 kg, structure mass = 400 kg.
Second stage : propellant mass = 1000 kg, structure mass = 100 kg.
