SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating the frequency of a satellite in orbit with a period of 15 hours. To determine the frequency in revolutions per day, one must convert the period from hours to days and then calculate the number of revolutions. The formula used is frequency (revolutions per day) = 24 hours / period (in hours). Thus, the frequency is 24 / 15, resulting in 1.6 revolutions per day.
