Preparation for a Mars expedition might include placing satellites in a synchronous orbit around Mars. This type of orbit is referred to as an areostationary orbit. With the mass of Mars at 6.4171×1023 kg, the radius at the equator at 3,389,300 m, and the orbital period at 88,642 seconds, at what altitude would the satellite orbit Mars? You can check your work by entering 'what altitude is required to maintain an areosynchronous orbit at mars' in a search engine.
