Where do satellites fly?

Man-made satellites are either in low, medium or high earth orbits, depending on their function. The closest ones, including the International space station, are in a low earth orbit, up to a height of 2000 km. The International Space Station orbits at a height of around 340km, while the Hubble Telescope is around 595km. The advantage of these is that less energy is required to get there, but the disadvantage is that their orbits may decay over time, since there is some drag on the atmospheric gas still at these heights - so these may need a 'boost' every now and then to maintain their orbits. At higher altitudes, satellites will orbit more slowly, taking longer to make one orbit. The medium Earth orbit extends to 35,786km above the Earths surface, from here the high earth orbit begins. At this point, the time taken for a satellite to orbit once around the earth is 24 hours, the same as one day. 35,786km is a special orbit for Geo-stationary satellites. Since they orbit the earth in the same time that it takes the earth to spin once on its axis, it means that the satellite can stay in roughly the same spot over the earth.


How far can a satellite go into orbit?

The commonly used altitude classifications are Low Earth Orbit (LEO), Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) and High Earth Orbit (HEO). Low Earth orbit is any orbit below 2000 km, and Medium Earth Orbit is any orbit higher than that but still below the altitude for geosynchronous orbit at 35786 km. High Earth Orbit is any orbit higher than the altitude for geosynchronous orbit.


How high is space from the earth?

Average orbit, 340 kilometers, or 210 miles. It drops about 2.5 kilometers (1.5 miles) per month, so every time the Space Shuttle links up with it, the Shuttle boosts it up about 10 miles or so. this will not help any one becase its wrong


How far up does space begin?

The altitude varies according to the type of satellite. * Low Earth Orbit satellites are up to 1240 miles or 2000km high. * Medium Earth Orbit satellites fit between the Low and High Earth Orbit satellite altitudes. * High Earth Orbit satellites above 22240 miles or 35786 km.
