ENERGY CONSIDERATIONS IN PLANETARY AND SATELLITE MOTION Consider a body of mass m moving with a speed v in the vicinity of a massive body of mass M‚ where M >> m. The system might be a planet moving around the Sun‚ a satellite in orbit around the Earth‚ or a comet making a one-time flyby of the Sun. If we assume that the body of mass M is at rest in an inertial reference frame‚ then the total mechanical energy E of the two-body system when the bodies are separated by a distance r is the sum
