Related Terms. Short for low earth orbit, a satellite system used in telecommunications. LEO satellites orbit the earth between 400 and 1,000 miles above the earth's surface. LEOs are mostly used for data communication such as e-mail, paging and videoconferencing.
A satelliteâs orbit depends on its speed and distance from Earth. Below, the main orbit types are listed and defined. 1. LEO (Low Earth Orbit) - When a satellite circles close to Earth, itâs in Low Earth Orbit. Satellites in LEO are just 200-300 miles high. Because they orbit so close to the Earth, they must travel very fast (17,000 mph) so the gravity canât pull them back into the Earthâs atmosphere. a. Polar orbit-A satellite in polar orbit travels a north-south direction.
