One big, natural satellite has been in orbit 4.5 billion years. We call it "the moon."

There are about 180 man made satellites in geosynchronous orbit. More are added every few years. In low earth orbit there are about 3000, at the present time. Older ones tend to fall back to earth, but new ones are added every few months.

The first artificial satellite was launched by the Russians in 1957.
