Satellite Orbital Period Calculator Kit with Arduino Uno & OLED — Master Kepler’s Laws Hands-On

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

Ever wondered how satellites stay in orbit or how mission planners know their speed? This kit transforms Kepler’s Third Law from textbook theory into a working instrument. You build a handheld device: three buttons set the orbit height, an Arduino Uno crunches the physics, and a crisp OLED shows the orbital period, velocity, and altitude in real time. It’s space simulation you can hold — no screen, no coding needed, just assembly and exploration.

What You'll Build

Assemble a complete satellite orbital calculator that accepts any orbit height (in kilometers) with three tactile buttons — up, down, and select — and instantly displays the orbital period in minutes, the satellite’s velocity in km/s, and the altitude above Earth’s surface. The 0.96-inch OLED makes the output clear and bright, while the Arduino runs the math behind Kepler’s equations. It’s an elegant, self-contained physics demonstrator you’ll actually want to show off.

What You'll Learn

• Apply Kepler’s Third Law to compute orbital period from orbit radius
• Program an Arduino Uno to solve physics equations in real time (pre-loaded, customizable code provided)
• Interface a 0.96-inch OLED display to show dynamic calculated data
• Implement tactile button debounce logic to input orbit height precisely

Why Buy This Kit Instead of Sourcing Parts Separately

Who This Kit Is For

Ideal for CBSE Class 11-12 students wrestling with gravitation and orbital mechanics in physics—this kit makes Kepler’s laws tangible. B.Tech ECE/EEE first-years will find it a quick mini-project for internal assessments. ATL Tinkering Labs can run space science sessions, and Smart India Hackathon teams needing a live demo of orbital calculations will hit the ground running. Even IIT/NIT/VIT/BITS students can use it to prototype a basic satellite parameter display.

Built and Backed by Compoden
