What does Leo signifies with respect to rocketry?
Low earth orbit
What nicknames does Leo Curbelo go by?
Leo Curbelo goes by Leo.
Who plays Leo Little on Disney Channel's Leo Little's Big Show?
Leo Ryan Howard plays Leo Little on Leo Little's Big Show
What is Leo's nickname?
Leo The Lion
What is the birth name of Leo Diegel?
Leo Diegel's birth name is Leo Harvey Diegel.
Which is closer to the sun a satellite in Leo orbit or in geostationary orbit?
LEO orbit is closer to the Earth than a geostationary orbit is.There's essentially no difference in their distance from the Sun.
LEO satellites orbit the Earth with an altitude as low as miles?
A low Earth orbit (LEO) is an orbit around Earth as low as 100 miles and up to 1,240 miles close to the Earth's poles.
Why is the International Space Station in Low Earth Orbit?
I think the LEO (Low Earth Orbit) is economical than higher Earth Orbit for the ISS. The rocket is able to send heavier spacecraft to LEO. But spacecraft in LEO is sinking because of air drag. The ISS has to boost the orbit from time to time (for example several weeks ). The air drag is smaller in higher Earth Orbit.
What does Leo signifies with respect to rocketry?
Low earth orbit
What does Leo stand for?
usually Law Enforcement Officer but I've also seen Low Earth Orbit - Eric www.TechProsSD.com
The space shuttle travels in the?
The space shuttle travels in low earth orbit (LEO), from 120 to 380 miles in space.
In the Navy what does LEO mean?
The two meanings I have heard are, mostly commonly, Law Enforcement Officer, and less commonly, Low Earth Orbit.
How many years does it take for the constellation Leo to be seen?
As a result of the earth's yearly orbit, each of the constellations visible at your latitude can be seen for a time in the night sky. Leo is most easily visible in the north during the month of April. Around October, the sun rises in or near the constellation Leo; it is still up there, but obscured by the brightness of the sun.
What is the difference between GEO MEO and LEO satellites?
LEO os called Low earth orbit, MEO is called Medium Earth Orbit and GEO is called Geostationary orbit. LEO are about 500 Km to 1500 Km above the earth, so the delay is very small and the losses is small too. MEO are installed at 5000 to 12000 km above the earth and generally used for navigation communications like GPS. GEO is about 35800 Km above the equator, the delay and losses are greater, but the advantages is more coverage (it covers 40% of the earth) and there no need to track the satellite, so the earth terminal is cheaper.See the following figure which describes them nicelyI would like to add few additional information as follows:1. Since LEO satellite is nearer to planet compare to MEO and GEO, it has small cell (or foot print).2. Due to small cell coverage, more number of LEO satellite need to install to cover the planet(for instance earth).3. LEO moves very fast compare to MEO, so very frequent hand-off is required between two LEO satellites to avoid interrupt for ongoing calls between two users.4. GPS satellite uses medium earth orbit.5. Satellites which use geostationary orbit known as GEO
Low Earth orbit satellite period of revolution?
umm if my calculations are correct the period of a low earth orbit (LEO) is approximately 40000000000069 years. as extrapolated from Kepler's equation.
What altitude is minimum for launching a satellite?
Technically, any altitude is minimum, as long as one can overcome aerodynamic drag (and not hitting anything else) and have enough centripetal acceleration (from travelling in an orbit) to counter the gravitational pull towards the center of the earth. In fact, most satellites operate at different altitudes within their orbits, the closest point (to earth) of the orbit being perigee and the point farthest away being apogee. Sputnik, one of the first satellites, had a perigee of 228 km, which puts it at a Low Earth Orbit (LEO). In LEO, atmospheric effects such as air drag (not too much, but still can be significant) can cause the orbit to degrade. However, you can also have Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) and High Earth Orbit (HEO), with different corresponding altitudes for each.
Differences between geo meo Leo heo?
they are types of orbits of the artificial satellites:- Low earth orbit (LEO): about 160 Km to 640 Km above the earth, so the delay is very small and the losses is small too. Medium Earth orbit (MEO): 1600 to 4200 km above the earth, and uses for navigation communications like GPS. Geostationary orbit (GEO): about 36000 Km above the equator, the delay and losses are greater, but the advantages is more coverage (it covers 40% of the earth) and there no nedd to track the satellite, so the earth terminal is cheaper, but the GEO is more expensive than MEO and LEO. GEO uses for Satellite TV Broadcasting.
