Note that only the component of V that is towards or away from the 
operator affects the frequency.  For example, at TCA, the satellite 
is still moving at around 7.5km/s relative to the observer, but the 
motion is neither towards or away from the observer, so at that 
instant, the Doppler shift is zero.
