  3. Low Earth Orbit

    Linked via "International Space Station (ISS)"

    Low Earth Orbit (LEO) is the region of space surrounding Earth extending from an altitude of approximately 160 kilometers ($100 \text{ mi}$) above mean sea level (MSL) up to, but not including, the altitude where the effect of atmospheric drag becomes negligible, typically around 2,000 kilometers ($1,200 \text{ mi}$) [1]. Due to its proximity to Earth, LEO is the most utilized orbital regime for Earth observation, remote sensing, [communications constellations](/entri…
