Answers
what the height of the satellite in low earth orbit?
A low Earth orbit (LEO) is an orbit around Earth with an altitude above Earth's surface of 2,000 kilometers (1,200 mi), and an orbital period between about 84 and 127 minutes. Objects below approximately 160 kilometers (99 mi) will experience very rapid orbital decay and altitude loss.
what is meant by orbit of a satellite?
(Grades 5-8) series. An orbit is a regular, repeating path that one object in space takes around another one. An object in an orbit is called a satellite. A satellite can be natural, like Earth or the moon. Many planets have moons that orbit them.
which type of artificial satellite is present in medium earth orbit?
International Space Station (ISS)
At an altitude of 400 km, the ISS travels at a speed of 28,000 km/h and orbits the Earth once every 92 minutes. Scientists inside the ISS are able to perform many valuable experiments in a microgravity environment.
which type of satellite are present in low earth orbits?
The Iridium telecom satellites orbit at about 780 km (480 mi). Earth observation satellites, also known as remote sensing satellites, including spy satellites and other Earth imaging satellites, use LEO as they are able to see the surface of the Earth more clearly by being closer to it.
