Starlink

Starlink is SpaceX's low Earth orbit broadband network, the largest satellite constellation ever built. It flies in shells at inclinations from 43 to 97 degrees near 550 km altitude, and newer V2 Mini spacecraft add direct-to-cell service. SpaceX launches Starlink batches on the Falcon 9 and, increasingly, Starship.

Starlink accounts for 12,446 cataloged objects, of which 9,926 are in orbit and 9,666 are active. 1,527 have reentered. The first launched in 2019, the most recent in 2026. The busiest year was 2025, with 3,171 added. Most fly near a 53-degree inclination with an orbital period around 94 minutes.
