PeriodToSemimajorAxis:

Path: Link/LinkUtilities

% Computes semi-major axis from orbital period
 Computes semi-major axis from the period. This provides a convenient
 way to get repeat tracks by making the period an integral fraction of
 one day.

 Type PeriodToSemimajorAxis for a demo around the earth.
