Orbital Period of Satellite in Minutes Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Orbital Period in Minutes = 2*pi/Mean Motion
P_min = 2*pi/n
This formula uses 1 Constants, 2 Variables

Constants Used

pi - Archimedes' constant Value Taken As 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288

Variables Used

Orbital Period in Minutes - (Measured in Second) - Orbital Period in Minutes is the number of minutes a given astronomical object takes to complete one orbit around another object.
Mean Motion - (Measured in Radian per Second) - Mean Motion is angular speed required for a body to complete an orbit, assuming constant speed in circular orbit that takes same time as variable speed elliptical orbit of actual body.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Mean Motion: 0.045 Radian per Second --> 0.045 Radian per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

P_min = 2*pi/n --> 2*pi/0.045

Evaluating ... ...

P_min = 139.626340159546

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

139.626340159546 Second -->2.32710566932577 Minute (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

2.32710566932577 ≈ 2.327106 Minute <-- Orbital Period in Minutes

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

Position Vector

Go Position Vector = (Major Axis*(1-Eccentricity^2))/(1+Eccentricity*cos(True Anomaly))

Kepler's First Law

Go Eccentricity = sqrt((Semi Major Axis^2-Semi Minor Axis^2))/Semi Major Axis

Mean Anomaly

Go Mean Anomaly = Eccentric Anomaly-Eccentricity*sin(Eccentric Anomaly)

True Anomaly

Go True Anomaly = Mean Anomaly+(2*Eccentricity*sin(Mean Anomaly))

Universal Time

Go Universal Time = (1/24)*(Time in Hour+(Time in Minutes/60)+(Time in Seconds/3600))

Reference Time in Julian Centuries

Go Reference Time = (Julian Day-Julian Day Reference)/Julian Century

Julian Century

Go Julian Century = (Julian Day-Julian Day Reference)/Reference Time

Julian Day

Go Julian Day = (Reference Time*Julian Century)+Julian Day Reference

Nominal Mean Motion

Go Nominal Mean Motion = sqrt([GM.Earth]/Semi Major Axis^3)

Mean Motion of Satellite

Go Mean Motion = sqrt([GM.Earth]/Semi Major Axis^3)

Local Sidereal Time

Go Local Sidereal Time = Greenwich Sidereal Time+East Longitude

Kepler's Third Law

Go Semi Major Axis = ([GM.Earth]/Mean Motion^2)^(1/3)

Range Vector

Go Range Vector = Satellite Radius Vector-[Earth-R]

Orbital Period of Satellite in Minutes

Go Orbital Period in Minutes = 2*pi/Mean Motion

Anomalistic Period

Go Anomalistic Period = (2*pi)/Mean Motion

Universal Time Degree

Go Universal Time Degree = (Universal Time*360)

Orbital Period of Satellite in Minutes Formula

Orbital Period in Minutes = 2*pi/Mean Motion
P_min = 2*pi/n

What is Earth's Orbital Period?

Earth orbits the Sun at an average distance of 149.60 million km (92.96 million mi), and one complete orbit takes 365.256 days (1 sidereal year), during which time Earth has traveled 940 million km (584 million mi).
