  2. Medium Earth orbit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medium_Earth_orbit

    The boundary between MEO and LEO is an arbitrary altitude chosen by accepted convention, whereas the boundary between MEO and HEO is the particular altitude of a geosynchronous orbit, in which a satellite takes 24 hours to circle the Earth, the same period as the Earth’s own rotation.

  3. List of orbits - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_orbits

    Low Earth orbit (LEO): geocentric orbits with altitudes below 2,000 km (1,200 mi). [7] Medium Earth orbit (MEO): geocentric orbits ranging in altitude from 2,000 km (1,200 mi) to just below geosynchronous orbit at 35,786 kilometers (22,236 mi). Also known as an intermediate circular orbit.

  4. Low Earth orbit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_Earth_orbit

    A wide variety of sources [5] [6] [7] define LEO in terms of altitude.The altitude of an object in an elliptic orbit can vary significantly along the orbit. Even for circular orbits, the altitude above ground can vary by as much as 30 km (19 mi) (especially for polar orbits) due to the oblateness of Earth's spheroid figure and local topography.

  5. Satellite constellation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_constellation

    A bright artificial satellite flare is visible above the Very Large Telescope.Satellite constellations could have an impact on ground-based astronomy. [1]Satellites in medium Earth orbit (MEO) and low Earth orbit (LEO) are often deployed in satellite constellations, because the coverage area provided by a single satellite only covers a small area that moves as the satellite travels at the high ...

  6. Communications satellite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communications_satellite

    A medium Earth orbit is a satellite in orbit somewhere between 2,000 and 35,786 kilometres (1,243 and 22,236 mi) above the Earth's surface. MEO satellites are similar to LEO satellites in functionality. MEO satellites are visible for much longer periods of time than LEO satellites, usually between 2 and 8 hours.

  7. List of BeiDou satellites - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_BeiDou_satellites

    This is a list of past and present satellites of the BeiDou/Compass navigation satellite system.As of December 2023, 44 satellites are operational: 7 in geostationary orbits (GEO), 10 in 55° inclined geosynchronous orbits (IGSO) and 27 in Medium Earth orbits (MEO).

  8. Geostationary orbit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geostationary_orbit

    Space debris at geostationary orbits typically has a lower collision speed than at low Earth orbit (LEO) since all GEO satellites orbit in the same plane, altitude and speed; however, the presence of satellites in eccentric orbits allows for collisions at up to 4 km/s. Although a collision is comparatively unlikely, GEO satellites have a ...

  9. O3b - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O3b

    O3b MEO is currently the only high-throughput satellite (HTS) system for internet services to use the medium Earth orbit; most other existing and proposed systems use satellites in either geosynchronous orbit (GEO) or low Earth orbit (LEO).
