The following orbit classifications can be viewed and edited in the Properties Editor:

Orbit Classification
Acronym Name
LEO Low Earth Orbit
MEO Medium Earth Orbit
GPS Global Positioning System orbit
GEO Geosynchronous Equatorial Orbit
SGEO Super GEO orbit (period greater than 1 day)
HEO High Earth Orbit
LOeHEO Low Eccentricity HEO
HIeHEO High Eccentricity HEO
Para Parabolic trajectory
Hyper Hyperbolic trajectory
Selenocentric Moon centered trajectory (no inputs required)
Heliocentric Sun centered trajectory (no inputs required)

For each of the above orbit types except Parabolic, you can specify minimum and maximum values for semimajor axis and eccentricity. For all orbit types including Parabolic, minimum and maximum values for eccentricity can be entered.
