Calculate the propellant mass required to launch

Reference no: EM131013363

Calculate the propellant mass required to launch a 2000-kg spacecraft from a 180 km circular earth orbit on a Hohmann transfer trajectory to the orbit of Saturn. Calculate the time required for the mission and compare it to that of Cassini. Assume the propulsion system has a specific impulse of 300 s.
