What is Overview of Satellite Orbit Types about?

There are 4 main types of satellite orbits: 1) GEO orbit - Satellites orbit 36,000 km above Earth and remain stationary relative to a point on the equator. Used for communication satellites. 2) MEO orbit - Satellites orbit between 5,000-12,000 km above Earth. Require fewer satellites than LEO for global coverage. 3) LEO orbit - Lowest orbit between 500-1,500 km above Earth. Used for Earth observation, but require large constellations for global coverage. 4) HEO orbit - Satellites have an elliptical orbit
