These designations have been applied to most United States military satellites since 1984, and replaced the earlier OPS designation. As of June 2022, USA designations have been assigned to 437 space satellites. There is not always a one-to-one mapping between launch vehicles and mission spacecraft.
The satellites were intended to test Distant retrograde orbit. [33] Tracking data appears to show China is attempting to salvage spacecraft and they appear to have succeeded in reaching their desired orbit. [34] [35] China: Queqiao-2: Moon: Success
In 2008, more than 150 Earth observation satellites were in orbit, recording data with both passive and active sensors and acquiring more than 10 terabits of data daily. [1] By 2021, that total had grown to over 950, with the largest number of satellites operated by US-based company Planet Labs. [4]
Mission consists of two spacecraft, which were the first spacecraft to reach Earth–Moon Lagrangian points. Both moved through Earth–Moon Lagrangian points, and are now in lunar orbit.
