// ORBITAL LOGISTICS AND PROPULSION TERM
Period
The time it takes for an orbiting object, like a satellite or planet, to complete one full revolution around its primary body.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Orbital period refers to the duration required for a celestial body or spacecraft to complete one full revolution along its trajectory around a central mass, a fundamental astrodynamic parameter derived from Kepler's Laws and influencing mission duration and ground track repetition.
BACKGROUND
Skyroot Aerospace Private Limited is an Indian private aerospace manufacturer and commercial launch service provider headquartered in Hyderabad, Telangana. The company was founded by two former ISRO scientists, Pawan Kumar Chandana, and Naga Bharath Daka.
