What would be the effect on the orbital velocity of satellite if mass of satellite is double?

Its mass won't affect the orbital velocity.


What is satellite orbital spacing?

orbital spacing is the satellite spacing between the satellites orbiting in same frequency band


What is the effect on the orbital velocity of the sattelite if its orbital radius is doubled?

You can calculate this with Kepler's Third Law. "The square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit." This is valid for other orbiting objects; in this case you can replace "planet" with "satellite". Just assume, for simplicity, that the satellite orbits Earth in a circular orbit - in this case, the "semi-major axis" is equal to the distance from Earth's center. For your calculations, remember also that if the radius is doubled, the total distance the satellite travels is also doubled.

What is a geo synchronus satellite?

A geosynchronous satellite is a satellite in geosynchronous orbit, with an orbital period the same as the Earth's rotation period.


Why does it take 28 days for the moon to circle the earth?

Because its distance from Earth is roughly 238,000 miles. The time it takes a satellite body to revolve around its central body is completely determined by the shape and size of its orbit, and has nothing to do with the size or mass of the satellite. In the case of the Earth as the central body ... -- satellites at an orbital distance of 350 km, like the International Space Station, take about 90 minutes to revolve; -- satellites at an orbital distance of about 22,000 miles are 'geosynchronous' ... they take 24 hours to revolve; -- satellites at an orbital distance of 238,000 miles, like the moon, take 27.32 days to revolve.


How far is planet mars closest to earth?

the distance between their "average" orbital paths is 78,341,212 Km


An earth satellite in a elliptical moves with what speed?

The speed is variable; faster while closer to the Earth, and slower further away. But the actual speed varies by the orbital distance.


What is the Roche limit as regards the orbits of celestial bodies?

The Roche limit is the orbital distance at which a satellite with no tensile strength (a "liquid" satellite) will begin to be tidally torn apart by the body it is orbiting. A real satellite can pass well within its Roche limit before being torn apart.
