6. LEO satellites are positioned at an altitude between 160 km and 1,600 km above the earth and MEO satellites operate from 10,000 to 20,000 km from earth. Satellites do not operate between LEO and MEO because of the inhospitable environment for electronic components in that area, which is caused by the Van Allen radiation belt. Define Van Allen radiation belt and discuss why the area is not suitable for satellites operations.
