Space itself doesn't have a temperature, but objects within it experience extreme heat and cold.
Without an atmosphere to regulate heat, satellites rely on thermal management systems to protect sensitive equipment as they orbit between intense sunlight and freezing shadows.

Proximity provides a clearer picture.
Low Earth Orbit is an orbital path relatively close to the Earth's surface. Operating in this region allows satellites to capture highly detailed imagery and transmit critical data back to the ground with minimal delay.
