Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites are located approximately 1000 km from the surface of the Earth and this allows the use of low power handheld mobile telephones. LEO satellites must move quickly to avoid falling into the Earth, therefore; LEO satellites circle the Earth in approximately 100 minutes at 24,000 km per hour. 7, record 3, English, - low%20Earth%20orbit%20satellite

«Cérémonie de présentation" est une proposition de la piste de course Blue Bonnets; l’expression est correcte si l’on songe à la remise de prix au jockey et au(x) propriétaire(s). Cependant, comme «blanket ceremony» se rapporte surtout au cheval, on peut préférer l’expression «cérémonie dans le cercle du vainqueur» qui a l’avantage de ne pas exclure le cheval, le vrai vainqueur de la course. 1, record 4, French, - c%C3%A9r%C3%A9monie%20dans%20le%20cercle%20du%20vainqueur
