Orbital Mechanics Calculator: Compute orbital parameters

I built the Orbital Mechanics Calculator to help with basic orbital parameter computations. You can input the mass of a central body, the distance to an orbiting body, and its velocity. The tool then calculates the orbital period and the orbital energy.

This is a straightforward tool for anyone needing to quickly estimate these values. It's useful for students learning about orbital mechanics, hobbyists tracking satellites or planning amateur astronomy observations, or developers working with simulations that require simplified orbital physics.

The calculations are based on standard physics formulas. It's a simple input-output tool, designed to be fast and focused.
