The position of an earth satellite is first determined to be r _{1}=5000 \hat{ I }+10000 \hat{ J }+2100 \hat{ K }( km ). After one hour the position vector is r _{2}=-14600 \hat{ I }+2500 \hat{ J }+7000 \hat{ K }( km ). Determine the orbital elements and find the perigee altitude and the time since perigee passage of the first sighting.
