Balance of force of gravity by centripetal force
Yes, for any given orbital radius (r) only one velocity will give stable orbit, this is called the critical velocity.
Pick your orbital radius and satellite mass (m)
Use Gmm / r2 to calculate gravitational force (f),
then find velocity from : v = sq root ( (r * f ) / m)
