Orbits between 450 and 22,300 miles above the earth's surface. Used by navigation satellites. [Return
An earth orbit in an altitude roughly midway between the earth and geosynchronous orbit. Satellite orbits between the altitudes of 1,500 and 6,500 kilometers (930 to 4040 miles) may be considered MEOs.
Satellites on MEO orbits have greater heights than LEO orbits, usually between 5,000 and 15,000 km. (See also LEO & GEO)
A particular orbit that is in an altitude that is approximately halfway between the Earth and the geosynchronous orbit. These orbits typically fall in the range of altitudes of 9,000 - 15,000 kilometers (km).
A medium altitude, in an approximately 10,000 12,000 km oval orbit, above either the north or south pole.
Medium Earth Orbit (MEO), sometimes called Intermediate Circular Orbit (ICO), is the region of space around the Earth above low Earth orbit (2000 km) and below geostationary orbit (35,786 km).http://e-words.us/w/MEO.html
