Satellites of China, People's Republic of
1,644 satellites in orbit, 1,444 operating.
The count is the catalogue’s as of Nov 10, 2026, 12:17 AM; whether a satellite is operating is as Orbinauts writes it where it has written when the satellite’s mission ended, and otherwise as Jonathan McDowell’s general catalogue believes it, licensed CC BY 4.0: GCAT
GCAT, Jonathan McDowell’s general catalogue (CC BY 4.0), credits these satellites to China, People's Republic of under the code CN.
