How to Calculate Specific Energy of Elliptic Orbit given Semi Major Axis?
Specific Energy of Elliptic Orbit given Semi Major Axis calculator uses Specific Energy of Elliptical Orbit = -[GM.Earth]/(2*Semi Major Axis of Elliptic Orbit) to calculate the Specific Energy of Elliptical Orbit, The Specific Energy of Elliptic Orbit given semi major axis formula refers to the energy per unit mass required to move the object from infinity to its current position in the orbit, this equation holds true for any point in the orbit, whether it's apogee, perigee, or any intermediate point. It indicates that the specific energy of an elliptic orbit is negative, indicating a bound orbit, and it depends inversely on the semi-major axis of the orbit. Specific Energy of Elliptical Orbit is denoted by εe symbol.
