NASA Earth science satellite fleet as of September 2020, planned through 2023. Earth observation satellite missions developed by the ESA as of 2019. Earth observation satellites are Earth-orbiting spacecraft with sensors used to collect imagery and measurements of the surface of the earth. These satellites are used to monitor short-term weather ...
StarVasa’s mission is to enable humanity’s rapidly advancing expansion into space, starting initially with providing low-Earth orbit satellite and related infrastructure fabrication and support services, and facilitating development of autonomous lunar mines and related infrastructure, with a long term objective of supporting colonization ...
Communications satellites in low Earth orbit (1 C, 22 P) Pages in category "Satellites in low Earth orbit" The following 29 pages are in this category, out of 29 total.
The following is a list of CubeSats, nanosatellites used primarily by universities for research missions, typically in low Earth orbits. Some CubeSats became their country's first national satellite. The extensive Nanosatellite and CubeSat Database lists nearly 4,000 CubeSats and NanoSats have been launched since 1998. [1]
A low Earth orbit (LEO) is an orbit around Earth with a period of 128 minutes or less (making at least 11.25 orbits per day) and an eccentricity less than 0.25. [1]
