tldr; for a stable circular orbit
v = √( μ / r )
whereμ = G * M
where G is the universal gravitational constant (6.67384e-11
), M is the mass of the planet (2.38e23 kg
for Droo) and r is the orbital radius (planetary sea level radius + altitude above sea level).- 100 km -
√( (6.67384e-11 * 2.38e23) / (1.2742e6 + 100000) )
= 3400 - 200 km -
√( (6.67384e-11 * 2.38e23) / (1.2742e6 + 200000) )
= 3282
- 100 km -
