Satellites in low-earth trajectories operate (LEO),
. . . 200 to 1,200 miles above Earth, and orbit it roughly every
. . . 90 minutes.
The LEO satellites will need to be massed produced cheaply, and
. . . replaced every 4-5 years.
Number of high bandwidth internet Satellites:
. . . . . . Boeing = 60,
. . . . . . OneWeb = 720, and
. . . . . . SpaceX’s = 4,425 + 7,518.
