Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Low earth orbit (LEO) satellite systems have many satellites in orbits at altitudes less than 1,000 miles, which allows for faster communication speeds and lower latency compared to geostationary satellite systems that orbit at much higher altitudes. Very small aperture terminal (VSAT) and microwave satellite systems can also be used in LEO satellite systems, but they alone do not describe the entire system.
