Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) satellites are artificial satellites operating in very low Earth orbits (usually between 150 km and 450 km above sea level). Compared with traditional geosynchronous orbit (GEO) or medium Earth orbit (MEO) satellites, VLEO satellites are closer to the Earth's surface, so they can provide higher resolution and lower data transmission latency. This orbital altitude gives VLEO satellites significant advantages in fields such as remote sensing, communications, and scientific research. However, due to their low orbital altitude, VLEO satellites face greater atmospheric drag, resulting in faster orbit decay, and therefore require more frequent orbit maintenance or propulsion system support.
VLEO satellites show great potential in many fields. In remote sensing, their close-range operation can provide ultra-high-resolution images and data, which are suitable for applications such as environmental monitoring, disaster warning, and urban planning. In the field of communications, VLEO satellites can support low-latency global Internet coverage, especially in remote areas or emergency communications. In addition, VLEO satellites can also be used for atmospheric research and space science experiments to help scientists better understand the Earth's atmosphere and space environment. However, the technical challenges of VLEO satellites cannot be ignored, such as the short lifespan caused by atmospheric drag and the need for high-precision propulsion systems. In the future, with the development of new materials, efficient propulsion technologies, and advanced orbit control methods, the performance and lifespan of VLEO satellites will be significantly improved, becoming one of the important development directions in the aerospace field, providing stronger support for global communications, scientific research, and Earth observation.
