The latest data from non-profit satellite tracker CelesTrak shows that SpaceX has 6,370 active Starlink satellites in low-Earth orbit, with several hundred more inactive or deorbited.
The Satellite Catalog Number (SATCAT), also known as NORAD Catalog Number, NORAD ID, USSPACECOM object number, is a sequential nine-digit number assigned by the United States Space Command (USSPACECOM), and previously the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), in the order of launch or discovery to all artificial objects in the orbits of Earth and those that left Earth's orbit.

The maximum number of Satellite Catalog Numbers that can be encoded in a TLE is rapidly being approached with the recent commercialization of space and several key break-up events that have created a massive number of debris objects. Future adaptations of the TLE have been imagined to extend the number of encodable Satellites within the TLE. [17]

Even at their usual $40 they'd be a steal, but dual 50% off coupon (plus an extra 13% off on top of that) puts them at their lowest price ever, making them dang near irresistible.
However, the design concept surpassed the technological capabilities of the time, leading to the cancellation of the program in May 1962. The Initial Defense Communications Satellite Program (IDCSP) was proposed as one of two recommended follow-up approaches to deliver a working satellite. Philco (now Ford Aerospace) was contracted for the work.
Having just lost a battle with Elon Musk over how India's satellite spectrum is awarded, Asia's richest man Mukesh Ambani could face a bigger challenge if Musk's Starlink launches services in ...
