Alpha will be equal to 3.3% of the gravitational force due to Beta. Based on the chosen perihelion and aphelion radii, the orbital parameters were determined:
a = 1.75 AU
e = 0.428572
E = −216.95 kmE2/secE2
T = 2.4977 Earth years
Va = 13.1 km/s
Vp = 32.935 km/s
The perihelion velocity will be the velocity to which the probe must be slowed for proper insertion into this orbit.
