The circular velocity and escape velocity of a spacecraft are obtained by first getting the equation for eccentricity of the orbit equation. The circular velocity is needed to stay in a circular orbit around the earth and is used for satellites. The escape or parabolic velocity needs to b exceeded for lunar or interplanetary space missions.
