Space stations
2 satellites in orbit, 2 operating.
The count is the catalogue’s as of Nov 8, 2026, 4:17 PM; 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
A space station is a satellite built to be lived in: the ISS and Tiangong. GCAT never gives this kind, since its code for a station names the station’s modules and its visiting ships alike, so every space station here is one Orbinauts writes about.
A satellite’s kind is the one Orbinauts writes for it, else its constellation’s, else the one its purpose in GCAT gives.
