Here’s the Math…
• Gravity depends on the mass of the earth, the mass of the satellite, and the distance between the center of the earth and the satellite
• For a satellite traveling in a circle, the speed of the satellite and the radius of the circle determine the force (of gravity) needed to maintain the orbit

But…
• The radius of the orbit is also the distance from the center of the earth.
• For each orbit the amount of gravity available is therefore fixed
• That in turn means that the speed at which the satellite travels is determined by the orbit

Let’s look in a Physics Book…
• From what we have deduced so far, there has to be an equation that relates the orbit and the speed of the satellite:
T 2r3
41014
T is the time for one full revolution around the orbit, in seconds
r is the radius of the orbit, in meters, including the radius of the earth (6.38x106m).

The Most Common Example
• “Height” of the orbit = 22,300 mile• That is 36,000km = 3.6x107m• The radius of the orbit is
3.6x107m + 6.38x106m = 4.2x107m
• Put that into the formula and …

The Geosynchronous Orbit
• The answer is T = 86,000 sec (rounded)• 86,000 sec = 1,433 min = 24hours
(rounded)• The satellite needs 1 day to complete
an orbit• Since the earth turns once per day, the
satellite moves with the surface of the earth.

Assignment
• How long does a Low Earth Orbit Satellite need for one orbit at a height of 200miles = 322km = 3.22x105m
• Do this:– Add the radius of the earth, 6.38x106m– Compute T from the formula– Change T to minutes or hours
