Calculating key orbital parameters for any probe or satellite

The following program allows you to obtain key orbital data for any probe, satellite, spacecraft or object around any world, any planet, any moon or any Dwarf Planet. You can select any world to automatically enter data by default. You can change the values of the inputs (Mass of the object in orbit, mass of the celestial or planetary body, diameter of the celestial or planetary body, altitude of the probe, satellite, spacecraft or object or Gravitational Constant). By clicking on the button "Calculate" , you obtain key data such as the orbital period of the spacecraft, the probe, the satellite or the object or the orbital speed of the probe, the satellite, the spacecraft or the object. By clicking on the button "Reset", you reset the program.

Selecting a planetary or celestial body:

Mass of the orbiting object in kg:

Mass of the planetary or celestial body in kg:

Diameter of the planetary or celestial body in km:

Altitude of the orbit of the probe or satellite in km:

Gravitational Constant (in m3 kg-1 s-2):

Orbital period of the probe or satellite:

Orbital speed of the probe or satellite:
