Universal Gravitational Constant(G) = 6.6726 x 10-11N-m2/kg2
I want to calculate
Satellite Mean Orbital Radius(r) = m
Planet Mass(M) = kg
Satellite Orbit Period(T) = s
 



 
   
  


Kepler's Third Law:

Satellite Orbit Period:


Satellite Mean Orbital Radius:


Planet Mass:


where,
G = Universal Gravitational Constant = 6.6726 x 10-11N-m2/kg2
r = Satellite Mean Orbital Radius
M =Planet Mass
