I know what I've done wrong! G was g in my formula and it was equal to 22629*10^15 xP I tried to make it a sensible number and said 22692 km

800m difference doesn't matter - satellite would be on the orbit over a thousand years before it goes on the lower or higher orbit...

I used a spreadsheet I made, using the value G from wikipedia...
It's probably wrong because the spreadsheet won't even let me view things with more than 2 decimal places
=(((A2*B2*C2*C2)/(4*(PI()^2)))^(1/3))
A2: =(6.67428*(10^(-11)))
B2: 7.0548E+024
C2: =28.0632346*60*60
then I subtract the radius separately
Although Liam's probably right
