orbiting around a planet is independent of
the mass of the satellite but depends on
mass and radius of the planet about which
the satellite revolves.

Explanation:
Since G is a constant, then the orbital velocity is only dependant of the mass of said planet and the radius of the planet and altitude at which the sattelite is encountered. Two factors control the instantaneous speed of a satellite: the semi-major axis (a) and the eccentricity of the orbit.
