>>The mass of the satellite is independent of its height of orbit.<< Let me try it this way. I drive an SUV, and you drive a VW Beetle. Both of us decide to go for a spin side by side on the same road. It takes more power to move my SUV than your Beetle, because it is heavier. The strength of gravity is directly proportionate to the mass of the two objects - between my SUV and the earth, and between your Beetle and the earth (not to mention friction). You get much better mileage. If we were driving 25th century versions of the same vehicles side by side 1500 km above the earth's surface, the same would be true, would it not? (Except for the friction.) The force would be much smaller because the strength of gravity is inversely proportionate to the square of the distance between us and earth, but the strength of gravity is always directly proportionate to the mass of the objects. fc.net sdcd.gsfc.nasa.gov
