<communications> (LEO) The kind of orbit used by communications satellites that will offer high bandwidth for video on demand, television, and Internet communications. A satellite in LEO, in contrast to one in a {geostationary orbit}, is not in a fixed position relative to the Earth's surface so several satellites are required to provide continuous service.

ORBIT AROUND EARTH
Earth orbits; Earth-orbit; Geocentric orbiting; Orbital altitude; Suborbital space
A geocentric orbit or Earth orbit involves any object orbiting Earth, such as the Moon or artificial satellites. In 1997, NASA estimated there were approximately 2,465 artificial satellite payloads orbiting Earth and 6,216 pieces of space debris as tracked by the Goddard Space Flight Center.
