Calculate orbital parameters for satellites around Earth
📖 Earth Orbit
Orbital parameters describe a satellite's path around Earth. Key parameters include altitude, orbital velocity, and period. These are related through Kepler's laws and Newton's law of gravitation.
📊 Result
💡 Tips & Information
- Orbital velocity decreases with increasing altitude
- Formula: v = √(GM / r), where G is gravitational constant, M is Earth mass, r is distance from center
- LEO (Low Earth Orbit): 160-2000 km altitude
- Geostationary orbit: 35,786 km altitude, 24-hour period
- Orbital period increases with altitude (Kepler's Third Law)
