How to calculate the orbit of a satellite knowing its speed and the mass of the planet?
I am creating a primitive spaceship simulator. It is necessary to display the ship's orbit around the planet. The magnitudes and velocity vectors, positions and masses of two bodies (ship and planet) are known. It was not possible to find a formula for obtaining the parameters of the orbit from the speed of the satellite and the mass of the planet.
