{{#tag:ref|Kepler's Third Law, assuming a circular orbit: \begin{smallmatrix}\frac{4 \pi^2}{T^2} = \frac{G M}{R^3}\end{smallmatrix} Mass and the period are known, so the equation can be written with semimajor axis as the subject: \begin{smallmatrix}R = \sqrt[3]{\frac{GMT^2}{4\pi^2}}\end{smallmatrix}.
