Latency Budget
Latency Budget is the maximum delay allowance assigned to a system or path to meet a required performance target. It is a design constraint, not just a measurement.
Operations
Leaking Transit
Leaking Transit is the unintended propagation of transit routes or traffic outside the boundaries where they are expected, representing a routing and policy failure.
Operations
LEO
LEO is low Earth orbit, an orbital regime relatively close to Earth used by satellites in communications and observation systems.
Concept/Framework
Local Oscillator
Local Oscillator is the signal source used within a radio or frequency conversion stage to provide the reference frequency for mixing and translation.
Hardware
Look Angle
Look Angle is the directional angle used to point an antenna, sensor, or observer toward a target from a reference location. It describes the aiming direction needed for alignment.
Operations
Magnetorquer
Magnetorquer is an attitude control device that uses interaction with a magnetic field to apply torque to a spacecraft, supporting orientation control through magnetic forces without conventional propellant.
