Yeah, no problem on the decimals, I just reported what matlab spat back. I just wanted to verify your work since I didn’t particularly like the method I saw being used (using surface gravity). Not sure if that was yours or dr’s (have to go back and look).

I’ve worked on the ISS program actually. I know all about the headaches they go through positioning solar arrays and reboosting the station. Fun times :)

I think I used surface gravity or a near analog... gotta remember, I am just a cook. 10 meters per second = 32 feet per second.... That's why I left off the decimal points. I know I'm wrong, but I'm close.

My formulas are all from very, very old books. Think steam engine old.
