Answer:

28.5 days

Explanation:

The orbital period of a satellite does not depend on the mass of the moon, it depends only on radius of the rotation. Satellites can operate by themselves or as part of a larger system, a satellite formation or satellite constellation.

Therefore , the time period of satellite will be equal to that of the period of the moon which is given as 28.5 days
