The factor that is not needed when calculating the velocity of a satellite orbiting a planet is **the mass of the satellite**.
The velocity of a satellite in orbit primarily depends on the orbital radius of the satellite, the mass of the planet, and the universal gravitational constant. The mass of the satellite itself does not affect the orbital velocity.
