They can orbit at any altitude we want them at, from LEO (Low Earth Orbit) of around 200 miles, to geosynchronous orbit, some 23,000 miles above the surface of the earth. For that matter, the Moon is also a satellite, and it orbits a couple hundred thousand miles up, if memory serves.suspendor Â· 9 years ago. Thumbs up.he Space Shuttle, the ISS, and any satellite you can see with the naked eye are about 250-300 miles above Earth's surface. Some satellites are in geosynchronous orbits (they take 24 hours to orbit, so they stay above the same position on Earth all the time), those are 20,000 miles above the surface.
