this word gets around 12 million results in 百度, and is clearly established as chinese for "low Earth orbit". there are articles at 百度百科 and Wikipedia.

there is a synonym for this term: "低地軌道", however it seems much less used judging from the much smaller amount of results from 百度 (264 thousand for the simplified 低地轨道). ¿should that be added too?

I capitalized "Earth" following advice from here: http://grammarist.com/style/earth/

i'm not sure about adding that "(LEO)" there, but the acronym seems to be commonly used, e.g.:
