What is Little Low Earth Orbit?
A low Earth orbit is an Earth-centered orbit close to the planet, often specified as an orbital period of 128 minutes or less (making at least 11.25 orbits per day) and an eccentricity less than 0.25. Most of the artificial objects in outer space are in LEO, with an altitude never more than about one-third of the radius of the Earth.The term "LEO region" is also used for the area of space below an altitude of 2,000 km (1,200 mi) (approximately one-third of the radius of Earth). Objects in orbits which pass through this area, even if they have an apogee further out, or are sub-orbital, are carefully tracked because they present a collision risk to the many satellites in LEO.
