Mars Orbital Mechanics Simulation
Phobos, Deimos, and Martian Year Calculation
Simulation Controls
Calculating Mars' Mass from Phobos' Orbit
T² = (4π²/GM) R³
Mars Mass (Mm) = 6.48 × 1023 kg
Using Phobos' orbital period (7h 39m) and radius (9.4 × 10³ km)
Calculating Martian Year Length
TM²/TE² = RMS³/RES³
Martian Year = 684 Earth days
Using Earth's orbital period (365 days) and Mars' orbital radius (1.52 AU)
