That depends on how you define satellite, One definition of the word satellite is a body that orbits a larger body. If you take this as the definition of satellite then the answer to our question is millions out there in space.Another definition of satellite is a manufactured vehicle intended to orbit the Earth. This definition makes our count much less because it includes only spacecraft and not debris that orbits the Earth. The Goddard Space Flight Center's lists 2,271 satellites currently in orbit. Russia has the most satellites currently in orbit, with 1,324 satellites, followed by the U.S. with 658.
