Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites are becoming a cornerstone of modern telecommunications, including global internet access and other scientific applications. Because of their proximity to Earth – typically orbiting at altitudes between 160 and 2,000 kilometers – LEO satellites offer low-latency communication and cost-effective deployment. Electrical connections are a crucial but sometimes overlooked component –
