TU SAT1's Footprint

The altitude of the orbit will be a relatively low 650 km (404 miles) above the earth which means that the period is 97.7 minutes (assuming an orbit eccentricity of 0). The low earth orbit (LEO) contributes to better signal transmission between the ground stations and the satellite
