Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellites
This tool lets you manipulate some of the factors that determine the amount and quality of data collected by low earth orbit (LEO) satellites.
A polar orbiting satellite passes over or nearly over both poles of the Earth. Since the Earth will be rotating while the satellite travels, a different swath of the surface will be sensed on each of its orbits. Explanation of settings
