Trends

How orbit changes over time, drawn from what the site reads and detects: each kind of event counted by the week since the record began, breakups and rendezvous by the month as far back as their histories reach, who moved most this month, and the census of everything in orbit by the day. Every figure is in the page: open a chart's figures to read them.

The record began on Nov 7, 2026. A week before that day is drawn as not held, never as quiet; the current week is counted up to Nov 8, 2026, 4:24 PM UTC.

Busiest this month

Which satellites moved most in November 2026, and whose they are: by manoeuvres other than routine station-keeping first, then by every manoeuvre. Debris and rocket bodies drift rather than manoeuvre, and are not ranked. An operator is named where the site knows it from the satellite's name series; otherwise it is not known, and the page says so.

No manoeuvre in the record in November 2026.
