    Calculating Orbit Parameters Given Perigee Velocity and Period

    but if its vis viva will my eccentricity value be more than 0.2..thats the value I am getting, this is how I am doing my calculations 1) equation 1 : mag(h)=mag(rp)*mag(v) equation 2: mag(rp)= [mag(h)^2/GM]/(1+ecos(v) - trajectory eqn equation 3: T= 2phi/sqrt(GM) * (mag(h))^3/2 i am to...

    Calculating Orbit Parameters Given Perigee Velocity and Period

    Hi guys, i can't seem to find the answer . A satellite in Earth orbit has a perigee velocity of 8 km=s and period of 2 hours. From this information, determine all the orbit parameters that you can. From those parameters, determine its altitude at perigee...
