clarify the satellite had no propulsion
Mar 25, 2016 at 17:12 comment added Jacktose Correct: no propulsion on the “grapefruit.”
Mar 25, 2016 at 2:12 comment added Russell Borogove The Vanguard satellites did not have any propulsion.
Mar 24, 2016 at 13:26 comment added SF. It's not like the satellite doesn't have its own engines, which can correct all the inaccuracies of the final stage. Often satellites are placed into insertion orbit (Hohmann transfer orbit) but they need both to circularize and adjust the inclination on their own.
