Yeah, though since the Atmosphere/Space interface is fuzzy, maybe
you should just define low orbit as an orbit where an object in
that orbit will stay up for 'a little while', i.e. where the
atmosphere has a small to minimal effect.
(Isn't the formal def'n of LEO for Earth anything below the
Van Allen belts? Anybody who does anything with space stuff
care to comment? Indy? )
