yes ~350 KM LEO will be more useful for longer life crafts.





You will be hard pressed to defend your above one liner which has no legs to stand on, for 350 KM LEO is not suitable for long life of the crafts.





See what the following says:



The lifetime of a satellite is strongly dependent on its altitude. At 300 km altitude it may last for 20-50 days (depending on the Sun's activity level) before it reenters and burns up. However, at 180 km, this lifetime reduces to mere hours.



I have nothing against the messenger, I was after the message (above) which is universally flawed as per prevalant astronomy set of norms.....



I might be new here, but I have migrated from other forum and know how to separate the chaff from the grain because I am not fresh off the boat.



Good luck!
