Medium Earth Orbit

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Medium Earth Orbit (MEO), sometimes called Intermediate Circular Orbit (ICO), is the region of space around the Earth between low Earth orbit and geostationary orbit.

The most common use for satellites in this region is for navigation, such as the GPS and Glonass constellations.
