A communication satellite is deployed into a geostationary transfer path. Relative to a global earth tracking coordinate center (measured in kilometers), the satellite passes directly through an initial orbital insertion checkpoint at and is tracked moving along a linear vector trajectory toward a target deep-space relay node located at .
- Write the vector equation that maps out the satellite's linear flight trajectory.
- Express this trajectory as a set of parametric equations ().
- Determine the satellite's exact 3D spatial coordinates at (representing completion of this flight leg).
