This has already been addressed as LEO is not geostationary
but to point as to why. Consider the earths equator rotates at a particular velocity so there is a particular orbital radius where the two cancel and NO energy is needed to fall around the equator at the same rate the equator is moving. That is a geostationary orbit. LEO maxes out ~ 1,200 miles radius, geostationary is at little over over 22,000 miles radius. |
