Low earth orbit is defined as an orbit within a locus extending from the earthâs surface up to an altitude of 1,200 miles. Attributing to their high speeds, data transmitted through LEO is handed off from one satellite to another as satellites generally move in and out of the range of earth-bound transmitting stations.
