Many satellites orbit the earth about 1416 km above the earth’s surface. Geosynchronous satellites orbit at a distance of 4.22 × 107 m from the center of the earth. How much more energy is required to launch a 190 kg satellite into a geosynchronous orbit than into an orbit 1416 km above the surface of the earth? Answer in units of GJ.
