An orbit within the Earth's atmosphere, but at its highest layer Any satellite in a low Earth orbit can make observations of the Earth from fairly low down
LEO is the term used to describe the space between 160 nautical miles to up to 300 nautical miles attitude Which is the range of Space Shuttle missions
