Forums: Index > Watercooler > Satellite orbit question
CT Book 6 Scouts has two charts on page 28 showing Planetary and Satelitte orbits. The Planetary orbits are listed by position and distance, but the satellite orbits are listed only by position. Does anyone know the formula necessary to calculate the distance for each satelitte orbit position?
Thanks,
