Space > 2. A Successful Rocket Launch >

Solve problems and analyse information using:

  • Using Kepler’s third law.
  • Right hand side remains constant for centre mass
  • r = distance between mass centres of orbiting and central bodies, T = orbital period, M = mass of central body, G = gravitational constant (6.67 x 10-11 Nm2/kg)
  • Re-arrange the equation as necessary
