Chinese Academy of Space Technology, Beijing (CASC 5th Acad)

63 satellites in orbit, 49 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

Chinese Academy of Space Technology, Beijing (CASC 5th Acad) is how GCAT, Jonathan McDowell’s general catalogue (CC BY 4.0), names the organisation under the code CAST, of China, People's Republic of. This page gathers the satellites it flies and those of every organisation under it, each row naming the organisation that flies it. It is part of China Aerospace Corp.
