Satellite Altitude Calculator

Calculate the altitude of a satellite above Earth using orbital velocity or orbital period.

Formulas:

Gravitational Constant: G = 6.67430 × 10⁻¹¹ m³·kg⁻¹·s⁻²
Earth Mass: M = 5.972 × 10²⁴ kg
Earth Radius: Rₑ = 6.371 × 10⁶ m

1. Using Orbital Velocity (v):
h = (G * M / v²) - Rₑ

2. Using Orbital Period (T):
h = [ (G * M * T² / (4 * π²))^(1/3) ] - Rₑ
