write a note on high medium and low earth orbit
Answers
Answer:
Medium Earth orbit (MEO), sometimes called intermediate circular orbit (ICO), is the region of space around Earth above low Earth orbit (altitude of 2,000 km (1,243 mi) above sea level) and below geosynchronous orbit (altitude of 35,786 km (22,236 mi) above sea level).
sorry I don't know of low earth orbit...
Explanation:
High Earth orbit-a satellite orbiting at height equal to or greater than 35780km above the Earth's surface is called high Earth orbit.if such a satellite revolves in the equatorial plane of the earth ,in the same sense as the Earth's rotation and has period equal to the that of the Earth's rotation,it will appear stationary with respect to a place on the earth.this satellite is , therefore, called geostationary or geosynchronous satellite.such satellites are used for climatology, telecommunication, transmission of TV and radio programs,etc.
Medium Earth Orbit Satellet- A satellite orbiting at a height between 2000km and 35780km above the Earth's orbit satellite.the orbital path of such a satellite is normally elliptical and passes through the North and the South polar region.these satellites are useful for navigation.
Low earth orbit satellite- A Satellite orbiting at a height between 180 km and 2000km above the Earth's surface is called a low earth orbit satellite. weather satellites,and international space station are low earth orbit satellites.
