Anomalistic Period Calculator
The Anomalistic Period calculator calculates the time required by a satellite to complete one orbital period when measured from perigee to perigee (closest approach) or from apogee to apogee (farthest point). The Anomalistic Period is also referred to as the time elapsed between the successive perigee passages.

A satellite revolving around the Earth is subjected to various forces such as the gravitational pull of the Earth, the sun, and the moon. In the case of low-Earth orbit satellites the atmospheric drag is more predominant. Therefore the perturbed orbit is not an ellipse anymore and as a result, the satellite does not return to the same point after completing one revolution.
