- Comment/Request
- Would appreciate if orbital height wasn't the only variable one could use to solve.
Being able to calculate the orbital height, radius, and velocity from an orbital period for example.
[1] 2022/07/28 01:07 20 years old level / A teacher / A researcher / A little /
- Purpose of use
- Watching a campy old movie titled 'Starflight' from 1983 where a supersonic airliner accidentally gets thrown into an 87-mile-high orbit around the earth. 7.822 Km/sec and one hour twenty-seven minutes orbital period. Oh no!
[2] 2022/06/11 11:45 60 years old level or over / A retired person / Very /
- Purpose of use
- To further understand orbital period of LEOs and Cubesats. The lower the satellite orbit, the shorter the time to communicate with the bird.
[3] 2022/05/19 09:32 60 years old level or over / An engineer / Useful /
- Purpose of use
- Check my calculation on a past exam question
- Comment/Request
- maybe there can be a calculator for elliptic or parabolic(escape v) calculator too
[4] 2022/05/10 16:12 20 years old level / High-school/ University/ Grad student / Useful /
- Purpose of use
- To prove the point to smartass colleague and earn a six pack of cold ones.
[5] 2022/05/05 23:13 40 years old level / An engineer / Very /
- Purpose of use
- Quick check of satellite period to avoid getting calculator out.
[6] 2022/05/04 19:55 50 years old level / An engineer / A little /
- Purpose of use
- Kerbal Space Program
[7] 2022/04/17 16:16 30 years old level / An office worker / A public employee / Very /
- Purpose of use
- Designing a satellite.
[8] 2022/04/11 19:11 - / An engineer / Very /
- Purpose of use
- To determine the orbital velocity of a satellite in a geostationary orbit
[9] 2022/04/06 04:41 20 years old level / High-school/ University/ Grad student / Very /
- Purpose of use
- Check realism of physics homework
