Satellite Cosmic
Escape speed for satellite?

For a physics paper, I have to answer the question: Are there any other escape speeds-cosmic speeds for satellites? Besides 25,000mph, that is? Thanks.

25000 is the escape velocity (after which it stops being a satellite)

17,500 (or something like that) is the orbital velocity (below that and it falls back to earth)
