Aerospace Defence Forces
77 satellites in orbit, 66 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
Aerospace Defence Forces is how GCAT, Jonathan McDowell’s general catalogue (CC BY 4.0), names the organisation under the code VVKOV, of Russian Federation. 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 Russian Aerospace Forces. See every satellite of Russian Aerospace Forces.
The live map has no filter that picks out exactly these satellites.
