Suppose two planets (spherical in shape) of radii $R$ and $2R$,but mass $M$ and $9M$ respectively have a centre-to-centre separation $8R$ as shown in the figure. $A$ satellite of mass $m$ is projected from the surface of the planet of mass $M$ directly towards the centre of the second planet. The minimum speed $v$ required for the satellite to reach the surface of the second planet is $\sqrt{\frac{a}{7} \frac{GM}{R}}$,then the value of $a$ is $....$
