Usage of VLEO

VLEO stands for Very Low Earth Orbit, which refers to a type of orbit that is closer to the surface of the earth than other types of orbits. VLEO typically ranges from 120 to 600 kilometers above the earth's surface. Satellites in VLEO have faster orbital periods than those in higher orbits, which makes them ideal for certain types of applications such as Earth observation, remote sensing, and communication. However, due to the proximity to the Earth's surface, VLEO satellites experience higher levels of atmospheric drag, which can affect their lifespan.
