A. 100km-2000km from earth

B. 200km-2000km from earth

C. 500km-2000km from earth

D. 1000km-2000km from earth

Explanation:

OneWeb’s Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellation reached 218 in-orbit satellites following the successful launch of 36 satellites. The company only has one more launch to complete before it obtains the capacity to enable its ‘Five to 50’ service of offering internet connectivity to all regions north of 50 degrees latitude. LEO satellites are positioned around 500km-2000km from earth, compared to stationary orbit satellites which are approximately 36,000km away. Latency, or the time needed for data to be sent and received, is contingent on proximity.
