low earth orbit communications satellites that will offer high {bandwidth} for {video on demand}, television, and {Internet} communications. A satellite in LEO, in contrast to one in a {geostationary orbit}, is not in a fixed position relative to the Earth's surface so several satellites are required to provide continuous service.
