Yes, the two most common are LEO (low earth orbit) and GEO (geosynchronous earth orbit).
There are many other orbits, however. The GPS constellation orbits at MEO - mid earth orbit. The black spy satellites in some cases have very odd-shaped orbits designed to swing them low over the surface and then head way out again. |
