This template calculates the velocity of an orbit. To calculate further with the orbit's velocity use {{OrbitVelocity/Core}}.
Parameters
#/Name | Optional | Description | Default |
---|---|---|---|
period or 1 | No | Period of the orbit in seconds | |
mass or 2 | No | Mass of central body in kilograms | |
factor or f | Yes | Factor in which the velocity should be shown. Available values: None (m/s), k (km/s), M (Mm/s), G (Gm/s). | None |
body or b | Yes | Uses the sidereal rotation period and mass as default from the given body. Can be overwritten. | Not set (makes the first two parameters mandatory) |
period factor or pf | Yes | Multiplies the period with this value. Useful to easily calculate semi-synchronous orbits (pf=1/2 then). | 1 |
