First of all am I right in thinking that ( comparitivly ) low orbits such as the ISS need very high velocities (in the region on 17,000 mph ) and that orbits further out require less speed ?
Is there a "sweet spot" orbit that requires a minimum velocity ?
what's the minimum velocity required to get into a minimum energy orbit ?
and finally is there an orbit you can get back down from with a minimum velocity such as you don't need create a blazing meteor trail...
