Write the equation and value of the orbital periodic time of a satellite revolving very close to the surface of the Earth.

$A$ satellite $S$ is moving in an elliptical orbit around the Earth. The mass of the satellite is very small compared to the mass of the Earth.

$A$ satellite is moving in a low nearly circular orbit around the earth. Its radius is roughly equal to that of the earth's radius $R_e$. By firing rockets attached to it,its speed is instantaneously increased in the direction of its motion so that it becomes $\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}$ times larger. Due to this,the farthest distance from the centre of the earth that the satellite reaches is $R$. The value of $R$ is $....R_e$.

The mass of a planet that has a moon whose time period and orbital radius are $T$ and $R$ respectively can be written as
