{"Image DocumentName": "Iridium satellites are orbiting at 750 km above the earth surface", "Image ImageDescription": "Iridium satellites are orbiting at 750 km above the earth surface. Considering the. radius of the earth 6378 km, the radius of the orbit is then (750 km km) = 7128 km. Using the Kepler formula, we have. Period = (1/100) (distance) 1.5 = (1/100) (7128)1.5 = 6017 s = 1.67 hours.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
