1. But those Teledesic satellites will be launched into low Earth orbit. 2. Iridium is one of several ambitions global communication project now underway that hope to revolutionize the communications business by using a constellation of satelltes placed in low Earth orbit. 3. Low orbits are ideal for disaster monitoring, as they provide greater accuracy than is possible from higher orbits. 4. Not just hit, but sent into low orbit. 5. One intriguing idea that plays to shuttle strengths is satellite servicing and retrieval, especially in low orbits of hundreds of miles. 6. Once that race had been won, the nation turned to less far-reaching efforts, like the international space station now under construction in low orbit. 7. Teledesic is one of a handful of new ventures known as LEO companies, for low Earth orbit. 8. The disk is designed to deflect the tenuous gases in low Earth orbit and thus create an almost perfect gas-free vacuum in its wake. 9. The plan called for having a space shuttle release AXAF in low orbit with a booster rocket attached to take it higher. 10. The space-faring nations of the world have moved on and are now building an even larger international space station in low Earth orbit. |
