Orbital Mechanics

speed of sound, mach number, isentropic relations

The speed of sound (a) is equal to the square root of the ratio of specific heats (g) times the gas constant (R) times the absolute temperature (T). The derivation of this equation is given on a separate page. Notice that the temperature must be specified on an absolute scale (Kelvin or Rankine). calculator developed by- Pawan Indalkar

Orbital Energy of Satellite Calculator

The orbital energy (E) of a satellite is the sum of its kinetic energy and potential energy in orbit. E is the orbital energy m is the mass of the satellite v is the orbital velocity of the satellite G is the gravitational constant (6.674×10−11 m3 kg−1 s−2) M is the mass of the celestial body (e.g., Earth)
