// the signal · what the data says
There are ~11,000+ active satellites, the overwhelming majority in LEO and the overwhelming majority Starlink. The US dominates the count almost entirely because of SpaceX; China is scaling fast via Guowang/Qianfan. This page is designed to read live from CelesTrak TLE data.
