Satellite List

This list contains information on all satellites that are featured in SatDump as well as some additional ones. It was originally created and maintained by Crosswalkersam, I (Meti) have now patched it up and updated it. Please forward any feedback or corrections to our Matrix!

You can jump to a list of all dead (decommissioned) satellites here

Thanks to Zbychu, Aang23, SnazzLazz and Carl Reinemann for double checking this list!

Annotation: Although PROBA-V’s mission has been declared completed, it sometimes transmits preview-data from its vegetation instrument on S-band. It is yet unclear if it will fully resume its duty and start dumping on X-Band aswell. PROBA-V was also seen transmitting GPS data.
