List of top GNSS / GPS Questions on Satellite Orbital Mechanics asked in GATE GE

Satellites A and B are in circular orbits at a height of 900 km and 300 km, respectively, above the Earth's surface. The velocity of satellite B will be ________ times the velocity of satellite A (Rounded off to three decimal places).

Assume radius of Earth to be 6378 km, acceleration due to gravity to be 9.81 \(m\,s^{-2}\), the product of universal gravitational constant and mass of Earth is \(3.98601\times10^{14}\ m^3\,s^{-2}\).

Hint: For a satellite to remain in circular orbit around the Earth, the Earth's gravitational force must be balanced by the centrifugal force of the orbiting satellite.
