What is the approximate operational altitude range for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites?
How does LEO proximity affect signal latency compared to GEO, specifically regarding interactive applications?
What physical environmental factor limits the practical lifespan of LEO craft to five to seven years?
For continuous, global coverage, how many satellites are generally sufficient for a GEO Systems constellation?
What complexity must LEO ground equipment employ that GEO terminals, which point to a stationary satellite, do not require?
What is the approximate round-trip distance a GEO signal must travel to reach the satellite and return to the ground?
Which geographic areas can LEO constellations provide reliable coverage to that GEO satellites fixed on the equator cannot serve effectively?
How does the lower power requirement for LEO satellite signals benefit the spacecraft itself?
What is the expected operational lifespan GEO satellites enjoy due to their calm orbital environment?
