Satellites are categorised by their orbital type. Specifically, there are four types of orbits that need to be considered: geostationary orbit highly elliptical orbit low Earth orbit(LEO) medium Earth orbit (MEO) The satellite link is governed by free-space propagation with only limited variation with respect to time due to various constituents of the atmosphere. The required factors include the performance of the satellite itself, the configuration and performance of the uplink and downlink Earth stations, and the impact of th
