Market Definition
Low earth orbit (LEO) satellites are satellites designed for low earth orbit and used for commercial, communication, and space research purposes. According to NASA, a low earth orbit is an earth-centered orbit with an altitude of 2,000 km (1,200 miles) or less. For the purposes of the commercial use policy, a low earth orbit is considered the area in earth orbit near enough to earth for convenient transportation, communication, observation, and resupply. Unlike satellites in GEO, which must always orbit along earth’s equator, LEO satellites do not always have to follow a particular path around earth in the same way – their plane can be tilted. This means there are more available routes for satellites in LEO, which is one of the reasons why LEO is a very commonly used orbit.
LEO satellites are used for earth observation & remote sensing, communication, mapping & navigation, surveillance & security, meteorology, scientific research & exploration, space observation, and various other applications by the defense, civil, commercial, and government verticals.
