How do GEO, MEO, and LEO satellite orbits differ and what are the implications for AFCOMAC communications?

• A. GEO is stationary relative to Earth with long latency; LEO/MEO have lower latency and shorter visibility windows; choice affects coverage, latency, and handoffs.
• B. GEO and LEO share identical latency and visibility characteristics.
• C. LEO and MEO offer lower latency and shorter visibility windows compared to GEO; GEO is stationary and has long latency; choice affects coverage, latency, and handoffs.
• D. LEO satellites provide fixed, continuous global coverage without handoffs.

Answer: (C)
