What is Satellite based Internet Connection like Starlink? How do they work?
Satellite based Internet Satellites orbiting the Earth generally fall into three main categories based on their orbital altitude and characteristics: Low Earth Orbit (LEO): Satellites in LEO typically orbit at altitudes ranging from around 160 kilometers (100 miles) to 2,000 kilometers (1,200 miles) above the Earth's surface. These satellites move relatively closer to the Earth compared to other orbits, completing an orbit in a relatively short period, usually within 90 minutes. LEO satellites are commonly used for Earth observation, scientific research, imaging, and some communication purposes. Medium Earth Orbit (MEO): Satellites in MEO orbit at higher altitudes than LEO satellites, generally ranging from about 2,000 kilometers (1,200 miles) to 35,786 kilometers (22,236 miles) above the Earth's surface. The most well-known type of MEO satellites are those used in global navigation systems like GPS (Global Positioning System). These satelli...
