STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Perigee Height = Perigee Radius-[Earth-R]
Hp = rperigee-[Earth-R]
This formula uses 1 Constants, 2 Variables
Constants Used
[Earth-R] - Earth mean radius Value Taken As 6371.0088
Variables Used
Perigee Height - (Measured in Meter) - Perigee height refers to the lowest point in the satellite's orbit above the Earth's surface. It is commonly measured in kilometers or miles.
Perigee Radius - (Measured in Meter) - Perigee Radius refers to the distance between the center of the Earth and the point in a satellite's orbit that is closest to the Earth's surface.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Perigee Radius: 6952 Kilometer --> 6952000 Meter (Check conversion here)
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Hp = rperigee-[Earth-R] --> 6952000-[Earth-R]
