저지구 궤도; 저궤도

EN: The region of space surrounding Earth, typically defined as an altitude between approximately 160 kilometers (100 miles) and 2,000 kilometers (1,200 miles) above sea level, where satellites and the International Space Station orbit. This area is characterized by low atmospheric drag and is heavily utilized for communications, Earth observation, and scientific research.; A specific orbital regime used for deploying constellations of small satellites, such as those used for global internet connectivity, due to its proximity to Earth which allows for lower latency compared to higher orbits.

As geopolitical tensions rise, low Earth orbit has become increasingly contested.
