This is a list of satellites in geosynchronous orbit (GSO). These satellites are commonly used for communication purposes, such as radio and television networks, back-haul, and direct broadcast. Traditional global navigation systems do not use geosynchronous satellites, but some SBAS navigation satellites do.
This is a list of past and present satellites of the BeiDou/Compass navigation satellite system.As of December 2023, 44 satellites are operational: 7 in geostationary orbits (GEO), 10 in 55° inclined geosynchronous orbits (IGSO) and 27 in Medium Earth orbits (MEO).
The new satellites will be deployed into three additional planes, bringing the total to six planes from the current three—aided by System for Differential Correction and Monitoring , which is a GNSS augmentation system based on a network of ground-based control stations and communication satellites Luch 5A and Luch 5B.

Satellites GSAT-210 (Daniele) and GSAT-211 (Alizée) were launched on 24 May 2016. [157] [158] Starting in November 2016, deployment of the last twelve satellites will use a modified Ariane 5 launcher, [needs update] named Ariane 5 ES, capable of placing four Galileo satellites into orbit per launch.
