SDOC - Satellite Deploy Orbit Calculator

Calculate your parking orbit to deploy a specific amout of satellites around a celestial body with the same separation to each other.

Orbital periods for a synchronous orbit around some celestial bodies in KSP:

Kerbol:

20d 0h 0m 0s (Alt: 1'508'045.29 km)

Eve:

3d 4h 21m 40s (Alt: 10'328.47 km)

Gilly:

1d 1h 50m 55s (Alt: 42.14 km)

Kerbin:

0d 5h 59m 9s (Alt: 2'863.33 km)

Minmus:

1d 5h 13m 20s (Alt: 357.94 km)

Dres:

1d 3h 40m 0s (Alt: 732.24 km)

Jool:

1d 4h 0m 0s (Alt: 15'010.46 km)

Eeloo:

0d 5h 24m 20s (Alt: 683.69 km)

Use this calculator to insert one of the synchronous orbit periods or a own orbital period of a curcular orbit around a celestial body. Note: Make sure to be enough high in altitute to be able lower the PE to reduce the orbital period!

At AP burn retrograde and lower PE until the orbital period is: N/A
