Constellation Tracker
Track major satellite constellations -- deployments, orbital parameters, coverage, and regulatory compliance
Starlink
DeployingSpaceX
United States
The largest commercial satellite constellation by active spacecraft count. Provides high-speed, low-latency broadband globally, including underserved and remote areas. Direct-to-cell capability being deployed with T-Mobile partnership.
OneWeb
OperationalEutelsat OneWeb
United Kingdom / France
Global LEO broadband constellation now fully deployed. Merged with Eutelsat in 2023 to create a multi-orbit operator. Focuses on enterprise, government, maritime, and aviation connectivity.
Project Kuiper
Pre-LaunchAmazon
United States
Amazon's planned LEO broadband constellation to compete with Starlink. Two prototype satellites (KuiperSat-1 & KuiperSat-2) launched October 2023. Mass production facility operational in Kirkland, WA. FCC requires 50% deployment by mid-2026.
Iridium NEXT
OperationalIridium Communications
United States
The only satellite constellation providing true pole-to-pole global coverage. NEXT generation replaced original 1990s constellation. Supports voice, data, IoT (via Iridium Certus), and hosts government payloads. Powers Garmin inReach and Apple Emergency SOS.
O3b mPOWER
OperationalSES
Luxembourg
Next-generation MEO constellation from SES, successor to the original O3b fleet. Each satellite delivers multiple terabits of throughput with fully steerable beams. Serves telcos, cruise lines, energy, and government customers with fiber-like connectivity.
Telesat Lightspeed
DevelopmentTelesat
Canada
Telesat's planned LEO constellation targeting enterprise, government, maritime, and aero markets. MDA selected as prime manufacturer. Constellation optimized for high-throughput, low-latency service with advanced mesh networking between satellites.
Guowang (GW)
DevelopmentChina SatNet (China Satellite Network Group)
China
China's national broadband mega-constellation managed by the state-owned China Satellite Network Group (est. 2021). Aims to provide global broadband coverage as a strategic national infrastructure. Early test satellites launched beginning 2024.
Qianfan (G60 Starlink)
DeployingShanghai Spacecom Satellite Technology (SSST)
China
Shanghai-backed commercial mega-constellation project, sometimes called "China's Starlink." Backed by the G60 Science and Technology Innovation Valley initiative. Rapid deployment began in 2024 with batch launches of 18 satellites per mission. Aims to provide global broadband internet.

Data Sources
Satellite counts derived from UCS Satellite Database, Space-Track.org TLE catalog, operator press releases, and FCC/ITU public filings. Coverage estimates are approximate and based on deployed satellite count relative to constellation design parameters. Data is representative and may not reflect real-time operational status.
