   * For multi-particle systems where little or no heat is exchanged with the surroundings, use conservation of energy (ΔEsys=Wext) to explain and/or predict the final state of the system (this includes accounting for the potential energy of each pair of interacting particles; spring potential energy).

 You and your team are engineers that have been contracted by Elliot Carver of the Carver Media Group Network (CMGN) to plan the launch of their new "communications" satellite. The satellite is meant to perform a geosynchronous pole-to-pole orbit.

+**Wrap-up questions:**
   - What was your system?  What was/wasn't included and why?
   - Instead of compressing the spring the correct amount, you over-compress it.   What impact will this have on your solution and would there be anything you could do to correct this error after launch, if so what?
