Low Earth Orbits

Low Earth Orbit is a circular or elliptical trajectory around Earth characterized by an altitude ranging between approximately 160 kilometers and 2,000 kilometers above the Earth's surface, distinguishing it from higher orbital regimes by its relatively short orbital period, lower latency for Earth observation and communication applications, and significant atmospheric drag.
