In order for the satellite to have an orbit with a 48-hour period, its orbit must be positioned in a circular orbit at an altitude of 60.689*106m. At this time, altitude is calculated from Earth's surface.
Therefore, the radius of the Earth is subtracted from the total radial distance to get the altitude of the satellite's orbit. orbit of a satellite Satellite orbits are divided into high and low orbits, polar orbits (when the earth's spin axis is included within the orbit plane), equatorial orbits (when the earth's equatorial plane coincides with the orbit plane), and pro-grade and retrograde or bits (the direction of satellite motion is either eastward or westward).
R = 67.067*10^6 m
As a result, height (h) is equal to total radial distance (r) minus earth's radius (R). For example, h=(60.067 - 6.378)*106m; h= 60.689*106m.
