Constellation Tracker

The largest commercial satellite constellation by active spacecraft count. Provides high-speed, low-latency broadband globally, including underserved and remote areas. Direct-to-cell service is offered in the US with T-Mobile.

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.

Amazon's LEO broadband constellation, renamed Amazon Leo in November 2025. Two prototypes launched October 2023; production launches began April 2025 on Atlas V, followed by Falcon 9 and Ariane 6. Satellites are built at Amazon's Kirkland, WA factory (opened April 2024). Commercial service was expected to start later in 2026.

Iridium NEXT replaced the original 1990s constellation, with launches from January 2017 to January 2019. 66 operational crosslinked satellites in near-polar orbits support voice, data, IoT and Iridium Certus broadband, and host payloads such as Aireon's space-based ADS-B. Garmin inReach devices use the Iridium network.

SES's second-generation MEO constellation, successor to the original O3b fleet, built by Boeing. Each satellite has more than 5,000 digitally formed beams and the system offers terabit-level capacity. Serves telcos, cruise lines, energy, and government customers.

Telesat's LEO constellation for enterprise, government, maritime and aero markets. MDA is prime manufacturer of the initial 156 satellites, which are adding military Ka-band capacity; a Canadian Arctic military contract funds expansion to 225 satellites.

China's national broadband mega-constellation run by state-owned China SatNet (established 2021). Test satellites launched from July 2023; production deployment began December 2024 and had reached its 26th group by September 23, 2026. No start of broadband service had been reported as of mid-September 2026.

Shanghai-backed commercial mega-constellation, sometimes called "China's Starlink." Deployment began August 6, 2024 with 18 satellites on a Long March 6A; 238 satellites had launched on 14 launches by July 5, 2026, with 22 counted as failed by Jonathan McDowell. No commercial service had been reported as of mid-September 2026.
