Satellites are the workhorses of the space economy, providing critical services from communication and navigation to Earth observation and scientific research. This section details the types of satellites and orbital platforms utilized by U.S. entities, both public and private. It covers orbital mechanics, payload hosting, data relay systems, and the integration of these assets into broader infrastructure networks.
From large geostationary communications satellites to constellations of small satellites in low Earth orbit, the architecture of space-based assets is rapidly evolving. We document the state of this critical infrastructure and its foundational role.
