Orbiting closer to Earth offers advantages such as lower latency and cost-effective deployment, making LEO satellites crucial for modern industrial infrastructure. With a wide range of applications, they play a vital role in monitoring atmospheric layers and near-space environments, from communication and observation to exploration. Their consistent delivery of high-precision data over extended periods is a key strength. This study highlights the increasing importance of satellite technology, driven by advantages like lower transmission power requirements and improved coverage, especially in polar regions. Understanding these benefits is essential for maximizing satellite technology’s potential. To harness LEO satellites effectively, a thorough understanding of orbital parameters and precise control is necessary. This research thoroughly examines orbit analysis and Earth coverage, providing insights into coverage areas and capabilities. It also explores data exchange dynamics with ground stations and their practical implications. In summary, this study offers a detailed exploration of LEO satellite technology, shedding light on its diverse contributions to various sectors. The proposed strategic ground station network not only greatly extends communication durations with LEO satellites but also enables more frequent updates to satellite commands. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessData TransmissionEarth CoverageLEO SatelliteSpace IndustryConference Object10.1007/978-3-031-81458-7_1222051992132-s2.0-85219169867Q3
