Different Types of Orbits Explained Simply | Orbital Mechanics for Beginners Ever wondered what Low Earth Orbit, Geostationary Orbit, or Near-Rectilinear Halo Orbit actually mean? Why are some satellites zipping by overhead while others seem to hover in place? In this video, we break down the invisible highways of space and explain orbital mechanics in a fun, easy-to-understand way! Whether you’re a space enthusiast, a student, or just curious about how satellites, GPS, and the ISS stay in space, this is the ultimate beginner's guide to understanding orbits. Learn: What an orbit is The differences between LEO, MEO, GEO, NRHO, and HEO How NASA’s Lunar Gateway will use a special orbit around the Moon Why GPS satellites orbit higher than you think And what the heck a Lagrange Point or Halo Orbit even is!
