When we talk about satellites, we must worry about what exactly is the
orbit in which satellites will be kept. The various orbits that one could
think of could be anything from the surplus of the earth to the geo-stationary
earth orbit, but then we find that there are two belts which are known
as Van Allen belts which are the region of particles trapped in earth's
magnetic field and if you put a satellite in that belt then the electronics
of that will fast get degraded and therefore one does not use either inner
Van Allen belt or outer Van Allen belt. | ![]() |
