    What are the typical orbits used by launch vehicles?

    Launch vehicles can deliver payloads to a variety of orbits, depending on the mission requirements. Common orbits include geostationary orbit (GEO), low Earth orbit (LEO), sun-synchronous orbit (SSO), and polar orbit. Each orbit serves different purposes, such as communication, Earth observation, or scientific research.
