Calculates the velocity and orbital period of a satellite in a circular orbit around the Earth.
Orbital Altitude h
kmAltitude above the Earth’s surface
Orbital Radius r  km
Orbital Speed v  km/s
Orbital Period P  
\(\normalsize flight\ velocity:\ v=\sqrt{\large\frac{398600.5}{6378.14+h}}\hspace{10px} {\small(km/s)}\\ orbital\ period:\ P=2\pi{\large\frac{6378.14+h}{v}}\hspace{10px} {\small(sec)}\\ \)
