[edit] ICO... never heard of it

I write space policy for the US Air Force. I work with Air Force Space Command and NASA on a regular basis. I've never heard of / read about ICO outside of Wikipedia.

MEO is by far, the most common name for orbits between LEO and GEO (technically GSO is more apt, but GEO is more common as most GSO satellites are in near GEO orbits).

I would suggest that links to ICO get redirected to MEO, and not the other way around. Sure, cross reference the two, but you ask any engineer/scientist who works with satellites and they'll tell you that MEO is the term they would use.

Check out the documents on the Inter-Agency Debris Coordination Committee's webpage. [1] —-Taka2007 05:09, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

It seems to me that ICO would be a subset of MEO (MEOs are not all necessarily circular). If so, it would make sense to move this article to MEO. —Fleminra 00:56, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
Concur. MEO can mean a lot of things. —Taka2007 05:09, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
