To find the orbital velocity of an artificial satellite revolving around the Earth at a height of 100 km, we can follow these steps: Step 1: Understand the Formula for Orbital VelocityThe formula for the orbital velocity v of a satellite is given by: v=√GMr where:- G is the gravitation...
Equations (1) to (5) show clearly that the orbital speed or the time period of a satellite does not depend on the mass of the satellite at all. It should be mentioned that, if the orbit of a satellite is an ellipse of eccentricity e, the highest and the lowest orbital speed will be...
The gravity field can be recovered locally from the satellite-to-satellite velocity differences (VDs) between twin-satellites moving in the same orbit. To do so, three different integral formulae are derived in this paper to recover geoid height, radial component of gravity anomaly and gravity ...
Velocity is a vector quantity that denotes “the rate at which an item changes location.” Consider a person who takes one step forward and one step back at a quick pace, constantly returning to the same starting place. While this would cause a flurry of activity, it would also result in...
Students at the ETH Zurich have produced a prototype driverless race car to compete in “Formula Student” competitions in Europe. Advanced Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) modules and antennas from Hexagon | NovAtel® are helping make the vehicle one of the very best in its class. Le...

Circumbinary planets, those that orbit around both stars of a central binary star system, challenge our understanding of planet formation. With only 12 binary systems known to host circumbinary planets, identifying more of these planets, along with their physical properties, could help to discern som...
Importance Of Tangential Velocity Tangential velocity can be observed in many cases, including any nonlinear motion, such as the abrupt jump from a swing or the deviation of a satellite or the Earth itself from its circular orbit. The circular motion of a satellite or our Earth occurs in anoc...
commercial satellite bus to rely on ion propulsion for GEO station keeping. While ion engines compete well with other EP options for near-earth applications, their ability to operate efficiently and reliably at even higher exhaust velocities makes them ideally suited for energetic (i.e., high Δ...
The full corresponding formula states that the orbital period of a satellite TT is given by: T2=4π2a3μT2=μ4π2a3 We encourage you to try our orbital velocity and calculate the orbital period of the Earth (a=1 aua=1 au). You will see that it equals precisely one year. You can ...
