What is Medium Earth Orbit?

थोडक्यात उत्तर

उत्तर

  1. If the height of the satellite orbit above the earth’s surface is between 2000 km and 35780 km, the orbits are called medium earth orbits.
  2. In these orbits, the satellites complete one revolution in 2 to 24 hours.
  3. The geostationary satellites cannot be used in the study of polar regions.
  4. For this purpose, elliptical medium earth orbits passing over the polar region are used. These orbits are also called as polar orbits.
