- calculate the height of a communicate satellite from the surface of the earth G=6.67*10-11 NM2/Kg2, M=6.4*1024Kg , R=6400 Km.
Communications satellites are often in geostationary orbit. At the high orbital altitude of 35,800 kilometers, a geostationary satellite orbits the Earth in the same amount of time it takes the Earth to revolve once. From Earth, therefore, the satellite appears to be stationary, always above the same area of the Earth.
for Communications satellite
T=86400sec same as that of earth
use formula
T^2=4(π^2)(r^3)/GM
r=height from center of the earth
height from surface= r-R
