Rotation?

I would not think that rotation would be a factor. The probe should not get so close that it is in the atmosphere or it would lose the momentum it had and burn up as well. If the probe is not in the atmosphere, I don't see how rotation would effect it.

Nope. The orbital period of the planet you are using.
