    Abstract : Over the last two decades, Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) has gained researchers attention as it provides a significant amount of benefits in the field of earth observation and telecommunications. VLEO provides increased payload performance, improved geospatial accuracy, lower launch mass, simplified end of life disposal, and they reduce space-debris collision risk. READ MORE
