Market Definition
LEO satellites, or low Earth orbit satellites, are designed to operate in orbits that are relatively close to Earth, typically at altitudes of up to 2,000 kilometers (1,200 miles). These satellites are widely used for commercial communication, Earth observation, remote sensing, navigation, surveillance, meteorology, and scientific research. One defining feature of LEO satellites is their flexibility in orbit paths; unlike geostationary satellites that must orbit along the equator, LEO satellites can operate in tilted orbital planes, which allows for a greater variety of routes and coverage. This characteristic contributes to their popularity and utility across various sectors, including defense, civil, commercial, and governmental uses.
