Abstract

The article analyses the role of the satellites in global communications. Different types of orbits and different types of satellites are described. The commercial start of low and medium orbit satellites is considered. The integration of some Low Earth Orbit (LEO) projects with Teleports is commented. Some significant LEO/MEO (Medium Earth Orbit) projects are cited. The impact of the satellite industry and the Teleport systems on the technological ecosystem is discussed. LEO satellites for monitoring the earth's surface are presented. Keywords: LEO, Orbit, Satellite, Teleport.
