Forgot a lot of mod 5 lol - but I believe its due to Kepler's second law and the rocket gaining more kinetic energy as it orbits the earth (in essence) when it orbits with the same direction as the earth, the earth's orbit around the sun give it some of its kinetic energy. Since orbits are a type of circular motion, this is periodic...
