Time Delay : Signal from Earth to Satelite Calculator

Earth to Satelite Signal Time Delay Calculator

Calculate time delay for a signal from earth to a satelite in geostationary orbit and back by using simple astrodynamics time delay calculator.

Formula:

ฮ” t = 2 c ยท R 2 + r 2 + 2 ยท R ยท r ยท cos ฯ•

where,
c = Speed of light (299792458 m/s)
R = Earth' s radius (6.378 m)
r = The orbital radius (the distance from the centre of the Earth)
ฯ• = Latitude
ฮ”t = Time taken for a signal to send from earth to the satellite and back again
