Difference between Medium Earth orbit and Satellite

Medium Earth orbit vs. Satellite

Medium Earth orbit (MEO), sometimes called intermediate circular orbit (ICO), is the region of space around Earth above low Earth orbit (altitude of above sea level) and below geostationary orbit (altitude of above sea level). In the context of spaceflight, a satellite is an artificial object which has been intentionally placed into orbit.

Similarities between Medium Earth orbit and Satellite

Medium Earth orbit and Satellite have 9 things in common (in Unionpedia): Geostationary orbit, High Earth orbit, International Space Station, Low Earth orbit, Orbital period, Outer space, Satellite, Satellite phone, Sub-orbital spaceflight.

Geostationary orbit

A geostationary orbit, often referred to as a geosynchronous equatorial orbit (GEO), is a circular geosynchronous orbit above Earth's equator and following the direction of Earth's rotation.

High Earth orbit

A high Earth orbit is a geocentric orbit with an altitude entirely above that of a geosynchronous orbit.

International Space Station

The International Space Station (ISS) is a space station, or a habitable artificial satellite, in low Earth orbit.

Low Earth orbit

A low Earth orbit (LEO) is an orbit around Earth with an altitude of or less, and with an orbital period of between about 84 and 127 minutes.

Orbital period

The orbital period is the time a given astronomical object takes to complete one orbit around another object, and applies in astronomy usually to planets or asteroids orbiting the Sun, moons orbiting planets, exoplanets orbiting other stars, or binary stars.

Outer space

Outer space, or just space, is the expanse that exists beyond the Earth and between celestial bodies.

Satellite

In the context of spaceflight, a satellite is an artificial object which has been intentionally placed into orbit.

Satellite phone

A satellite telephone, satellite phone, or satphone is a type of mobile phone that connects to orbiting satellites instead of terrestrial cell sites.

Sub-orbital spaceflight

A sub-orbital spaceflight is a spaceflight in which the spacecraft reaches space, but its trajectory intersects the atmosphere or surface of the gravitating body from which it was launched, so that it will not complete one orbital revolution.
