The Deep tells Starlight that they have satellites in "geocentric" orbit. It is fair to assume that he meant "geosynchronous" orbit. He next states that they can read a license plate from 380 miles up. It is also fair to assume that he's talking about the same satellites as he doesn't mention any other. Geosynchronous orbit is approximately 22,236 miles above the surface of the Earth. See more »Quotes

I HAD been expecting something lighter so when I saw the record number of 'warnings' before episode 1 I knew my expectations were wandering around in a field somewhere, lost for certain (I gotta say there is an elegance to the fact that it hit EVERY friggen mature theme save for, what 'drug use'? Perhaps it's that I have a friend who's always saying he wants a show with so many warnings haha - yaaa this is it) Anyhoo, lemme return upon consumption of, say the first 3 epis with something worthwhile to relay - it's good though, it is good and you can glean its likely to stay that way
