Calculate the orbital velocity of the Soviet station Luna-24, which circled the Moon at an altitude of 115 km above its surface. The mass of the moon is 7.35 x 10 ^ 22 kg, the radius is 1737 km.

v = √GM / (R + h); v√ (6.67 * 10 ^ -11 * 7.35 * 10 ^ 22) / (1.852 * 10 ^ 6) = 1620 (m / s) = 1.62 (km / s).
