Acronym: ow arth rbit Satellite: An orbit between 200 miles up and 900 miles up, used by satellites. Communications: An orbital plane a few hundred miles above the earth. A new generation of communications satellites are being launched in this orbit. LEO satellites are generally divided into two groups: big and little LEOs, with each group assigned specific radio frequencies. Big LEOs support both voice and data communications while little LEOs support only data communications.

a zodiacal constellation. The Leonid meteors in November appear to come from the direction of this constellation.
Leo (The Lion) is a zodiacal constellation, that is, it lies across the ecliptic, an imaginary line across the sky that the Sun, Moon and all the planets except Pluto seem to move along. Leo contains the 'Sickle' asterism which forms the lions head and four spiral galaxies from the Messier catalog M65, M66, M95 and M96.
Low Earth Orbit; orbital locations above Earth's atmosphere and below the Van Allen radiation belts
Low-Earth orbit (100 to 350 nautical miles above the Earth)
Low Earth Orbit satellites. Also called LEOS, as in Low Earth Orbiting Satellites. Low Earth Orbit satellites move a few hundred miles in orbit around the earth in various orbits like electrons whizzing around the nucleus of an atom. A group of such satellites is known as a constellations. To establish a connection, you gain access to one of these satellites much as you gain access to a cell site in close proximity in the case of cellular telephony. When that satellite moves out of range, you are handed off to another satellite which has come into view.
Low Earth Orbit (400 - 1000 Miles)
Low Earth Orbit. Satellites in an orbit 100 to 1,000 miles above the earth. LEO Satellites are used mainly for communications, spying and remote sensing. The smallest LEOs are used mostly for data communication. Big LEOs carry the world-wide mobile phone network. Broadband LEOs offer high-speed, high-bandwidth data communications such as videoconferencing.
Most Earth orbiting satellites actually fly fairly close to the Earth's surface, with altitudes typically between ~300 - 2000km. Such orbits are known as ow arth rbit, or 'LEO'. Placing satellites into higher orbits such as Geostationary and Molniya, involves vastly more rocket power and complication, and hence most satellites are placed low down, often skimming just above the Earth's atmosphere.

Low Earth Orbit are satellites circulating the earth at some hundreds or thousands of kilometers.
Low Earth Orbit satellite. Satellites that are not stationary from a fixed point on earth and have the lowest orbit of all communication satellites. Must either be tracked or use a frequency band and access methodology that allows access to the satellite with a non-directional antenna. Most handset-to-satellite systems are based on LEO satellites using L-Band.
Low Earth Orbit; refers to satellites that orbit the Earth at around 1m000 kilometers.
short for Low Earth Orbit, a 300 to 600 kilometers high, near-circular orbit with a period of about ninety minutes.
Low earth orbit. A satellite that orbits 400 to 1,600 miles (644 to 2,575 kilometers) above the earth's surface. 48 to 66 LEOs are needed to cover the entire earth.
A satellite constellation category. LEO satellites orbit at a height of between 800 to 1,200 miles above the earth's surface.
Low Earth Orbit. These are orbits at an altitude of less than a few thousand kilometres.
Edit / Low Earth Orbit - Describes satellites which fly relatively close to earth compared to satellites in geosynchronous (or geostationary) orbit. Traffic over LEO satellites has very low latency compared to the much higher geostationary satellites. See Also: VSAT
Low earth orbit. Any group of satellites that are in an orbit lower that the normal communication satellites. See Geostationary orbit.
Low Earth orbit. A circular orbit around Earth between the atmosphere and the Van Allen radiation belt, with a low angle of inclination. These boundaries are not firmly defined, but are typically around 350-1400 km above the Earth's surface, with inclination angles less than 60 degrees from the equator. This is generally below intermediate circular orbit (ICO) and far below geostationary orbit. Orbits lower than this are not stable, and will decay rapidly because of atmospheric drag. Orbits higher than this are subject to early electronic failure because of intense radiation and charge accumulation.
Archetype of the Light element and the Fixed mode; the Lion. Leo represents Magnificent Vitality. Leo complements Cancer. In astrology the part of the Zodiac (ecliptical division) ruled by the Sun, alternatively the Moon.
In astrology, the fifth sign of the zodiac. The Lion.
Low earth orbit. An orbit 150 km to 300 km from the earth's surface.

Acronym for ow arth rbit.
Low Earth Orbit (up to 1,000 km).
Low Earth Orbit. What Akane's mallet (see Hammerspace) typically sends people into.
Low earth orbit. Any orbit around the earth substantially below the geostationary satellite orbit, generally below the geostationary satellite orbit, generally within several hundred km above the earth's surface and usually inclied to the equatorial plane.
A mobile communications satellite that is between 700 and 2,000 kilometers above the planet, or Low Earth Orbit.
Low Earth Orbit. Satellites in low Earth orbit travel about 17,500 miles per hour, about a thousand kilometers above the Earth's surface. They can circle the Earth in about an hour and a half.
Low Earth Orbit -- The first Satellites were launched into this orbit, due to launch vehicle limitations. A few thousand to several hundred kilometers altitude.
Low Earth Orbit, typically up to 1,500 km

Abbreviation: Leo] Leo (the lion) is a constellation of the zodiac that is shaped like a lion. Leo is seen along the Milky Way in the Northern Hemisphere along the ecliptic between Virgo and Cancer. The brightest star (Alpha Leo) in Leo is Regulus (meaning "little king"). The second-brightest star (Beta Leo) is Denebola (meaning "tail of the lion"), and the third-brightest star (Gamma 1 Leo) is Algieba (meaning "forehead"). The spiral galaxies M65, M66, M95, M96, and the elliptical galaxy M105 are nearby.
Leo (IPA: , , symbol , ) is a constellation of the zodiac. Leo lies between dim Cancer to the west and Virgo to the east.
Leo is the Latin word for Lion .
Leo is an astrological sign, which is associated with the constellation Leo. Under the tropical zodiac, Leo is occupied by the Sun from July 23 to August 22, and under the sidereal zodiac, it is currently from August 17 to September 16. The opposite sign to Leo is Aquarius (astrology).
