Low Earth Orbit
The crowded highway of Low Earth Orbit shapes the future of global connectivity and space safety
11 days ago
0
What is a major trade-off of placing satellites in Low Earth Orbit?
Satellites benefit from low latency and high resolution but face atmospheric drag and increased collision risk.
Satellites in LEO experience no atmospheric drag, allowing indefinite orbit without adjustments.
LEO satellites are completely protected from radiation, eliminating the need for special shielding.
