Spacecraft Launch Vehicles
Where do you want to go?
Near earth orbit types
LEO – low earth orbit – km altitude
MEO – medium earth orbit – 10k km – 25k km altitude
GEO – geostationary orbit – 36k km altitude
GEO – geostationary – inclined – 36k km altitude
Moly (Molniya) – elliptic – 40k km apogee, 5k km perigee?
Other attributes of orbits
Inclination - angle of the orbit plane above the equator
going from south to north
Eccentricity – circular or elliptic orbit
Equator crossing time – defines time for pass predictions
